Y'all, Thanks to those of you who thumped me over the head with the Clue Stick (tm) on the subject of disk quotas for the mail queue last week. I thought about it this weekend, and instituted a 50 MB soft limit (12 month time limit) and a 100 MB hard limit for /var/mail. This is on a 8 GB filesystem with 3000 users. I subjected my test user to 100 MB of email, and found that once he hit his hard limit, further emails were returned to sender. This looks good. Thanks.
