I'd suggest testing the behavior when the afs volume is full (or is just
under full), too.  I don't use qmail, so I don't know how gracefully it
might handle this.

PS. Any specific reason you're reinventing the wheel rather than use a
proven email solution?  (I personally like cyrus--while I never got it to
compile with AFS support, I found I don't really need it since it has
built-in acl and quota support).

Cheers,
