thanks for the many suggestions for removing mail.
what are people's thought on when to do this... options which have advantages
and disadvantagea are as follows. what are people's experiences...
* randomly clean parts of the userspace throughout the day
* do it all synchrnously at 3am?
* triggered by an event such as quota full or log-out. (not good for
neglected accounts)
i'm thinking in terms of impact on the servers and the underlying storage disk
controllers...

The disadvantage is that you are going to spawn LOTS of rm -f
processes, with the xargs approach you will spawn between 5% and 10%
as many.
