Sounds like a recipe for lost messages should anything go wrong.. What

4th and 15. Punt.
That's certainly a tough situation. So what *is* the solution?
A thought out of the dark:
Would it be possible for cyrus
to hardlink instead of plain copy
and not bother check for quota when COPY,
if file system supports hardlinks anyway?
Cyrus already does a link() if possible, but the message size is always
counted against the quota, which I believe it should.
