Not any more (it accepts it, but it doesn't do anything).

Well... See http://www.imc.org/draft-murchison-lmtp-ignorequota
This is how the -q option is implemented. This _might_ change to a
general delivery options method in the future, ie "RCPT
TO:<> OPTIONS=qae" which would ignore the quota, ignore
the ACL and turn off duplicate supression.

See above.

If/when all MTAs support LMTP, it _might_ go away. But, it would still
have value for scripting, etc.
