Is this an environment in which you can tell the users to lump it? What
about trying a smaller number in the .popbull file? In my setup, I have
been able to prevent bulletins from, or even cause bulletins to, appear in
users' mailboxes by manipulating the .popbull file just-so.
One gotcha on this tactic, however, was file ownership and permissions. All
of my .popbull files are owned by the user, GID of the user's default group,
and chmod 740.
