I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you, here.
I'm using the version of quota that came with RH7.0 (quota-2.00pre3-7) and
it's working just fine on my box. I've only set up one user for quotas,
on the /var filesystem (trying to keep the user's email file size down),
and it's working. Every time a message comes in for this user (the user
hasn't checked mail in months, and her file is at its max allowed size),
the mail server replies back to the sender that the user in question is
over her quota and themail couldn't be accepted.
