I would add to Eric's comments that I don't think simply disabling the Quota
Warning Message is going to work, or that it's even a good idea. Sure, your
user's won't get the message, but will quotas still be enforced? If so,
your users will, without warning, start having mail bounced...
I would either disable quotas, or jack them up stupidly high, then disable
the messages... Although, I'm guessing just disabling them would be the
best bet for now.
