This conflicts with another motivation for using a different partition
for the temp drop: quotas. When a user gets above half his quota, he
can't POP anymore because the copy uses up more than his quota, so
administrative intervention is required. Putting the temp drop on a
filesystem with no quota allows a user near quota to reduce the size of
his mailbox.
