What is this "boundary condition" and when does it come up? We have the temp dir on a non-quota filesystem, and on the spool dir users have a hard quota 100k more than the soft quota. Yet we still occasionnally end up with a user with a corrupted mail spool because somehow it went over quota, and when qpopper copies the spool back, it gets corrupted. I have tried turning off the X-UIDL writing, but that hasn't helped.
