Does anyone have an auto-responder in which a user could email themselves

This will do what you _seem_ to be asking , (I think.  I haven't tested
it.)  It's certainly a security risk, though, since I it
will respond with the "quota -v" output to anyone who requests
it, but at least it will give you a starting point; some better ideas
might be to include the requirement of a password, or limiting the
"From:" addresses for which it will respond, etc.

SHELL=/bin/sh                   # whatever shell you want it to use
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail     # where to look for the MTA
:0 iW
* ^Subject: show diskquota
* !^X-Loop: user(_at_)host
| ( formail -r -A"X-Loop: user(_at_)host"; echo "quota -v" | $SHELL ) \
  | $SENDMAIL -oi -t

If there are glaring problems, I hope the gurus will jump in
and offer their wisdom.  :)

Good luck!
