We kinda bruteforce it here:

   open(OUT, "| ssh root\@$location /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -q
        -r osuhelpdesk\@oregonstate.edu $username");

(where $location is the backend holding $username's mailbox)

Then we pipe in our prepared overquota warning message to it.

Is anyone using this?  I don't have a script which speaks LMTP, so some 
example code would be useful.
