deliver -q won't ignore quotas

[Robert Covell]

We are doing something similar but opening deliver a bit different (with the
user name and -q).  Before we put this in production would the following be
correct (the previous open of deliver is commented out):

//$MP = "/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -q $user";
$MP = "/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver $user IGNOREQUOTA";

$fp = popen($MP,"w");
fputs($fp, $toheader);
fputs($fp, $fromheader);
fputs($fp, $replytoheader);
fputs($fp, $dateheader);
fputs($fp, $subjectheader);
fputs($fp, "$message");
pclose($fp);

Thanks,
Bob
