I have had 20 users _kill_ a 10Gb partition used by 2500 users. Not to mention what happens when a looping mailer fills up a disk. Which is better? One user being foced to clean up because mail is bouncing due to overquota? Or the entire mail spool being wiped out and _ALL_ users being unable to receive mail due to a mailbomb or group of users who don't delete mail?
