I would propose a different solution - more widely applicable, too.
There should be a setting in dbmail.conf that turns off quotas. 

When there are no quotas, all message insertion (including LMTP and
IMAP) might run facter. And quotas are not always needed (as in my local
storage case). 

For servers where quotas *are* needed, one could temporarily disable
quotas for mass inserions (i.e. mailbox imports), and then enable them
again.

This setting could be made separate for the three programs (imapd,
lmtpd, smtp). Then, if one uses LMTP for MTA usage, one could keep
quotas disabled for dbmail-smtp, and get quick imports with no config
change.

Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
