I have a virtual hosting site and have user accounts setup in 'hashed' =
directories based on their first two username characters.
IE   username of       william
would be under /home/httpd/userpages/w/wi/william
and referenced as http://www.whateversite.com/william/
and I then use mod_rewrite and a perl script to rewrite    william     =
to /w/wi/william
I want to be able to deposit user's email into a subdirectory called =
'.mail' under /w/wi/william .  I'd then have a rule in apache to disable =
download of this directory or any files under it (just in case.)  Then =
all email for that user would be dropped inside this directory so it =
will count against their quota when the upload additional files for =
their website.

Possible?

thanx!
William
