So, you need customizable userdb lookup without ldap or sql. You can try too
use checkpassword as userdb and then, in the script - parse quota-file, make
pam lookup and return userdb_quota* values for specific user. More on
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword . I don't have experience
with this authdatabase method, but seems that it suitable for you.
But in general - it's better to prevent editing maildirsize file from 2
instances.
