    I've heard of Exim, although I have not used it. I am more familiar
    with mail systems like Cyrus, as well as it's predecessor, the Andrew
    Message System, and Courier. I remember MMDF, which CMU was using way
    back when, and I'd even worked on a SMTP-to-X.400 gateway product back
    in the early 90's.

    For choice, I'd spend my time on this list helping people rather than
    debating terminology, but that's only a preference. If you want to say
    that Exim has "MTA-imposed quota", fine. (*)

    In the future, please try to mention important details instead of
    expecting people to guess that you weren't using FreeBSD's default MTA.

(*): I find the distinction between the various components of a mail 
system-- the "MTA", "LDA", "MUA", and related software like a "POP3" or 
"IMAP" server-- to be well-defined and meaningful.  Exim handles 
per-user quotas for mailboxes.  However, the part of Exim which does 
SMTP-- the MTA-- doesn't perform local delivery, does it?
