IMHO it is simply a matter of making smmapd.c sending replies in
different format.

smapd.c gets in every query:
* map name (currently ignored)
* query string (currently mailbox name)

smapd.c can send replies in format based on "map name" e.g.
for map_name="cyrus"  it can preserve the current behavior
for map_name="cyrus2" it can send back
* FOUND OK:mailbox_name
* FOUND QUOTA:mailbox_name
* NO_MATCH
