Well i dont use local users at all.. they are all virtual..

I spoes there is no real advantage of each virtual user/domain having there
own uid/gid

Just out of curious how would one install it as root so it can su to the
uids?

Using this method qouta support will also work yes?

Also i have a quota table in my mysql database.. how does maildrop read it..
in bytes or megabytes or?
