On a Solaris system, I have the hard limit set at a reasonable amount about
the soft limit (reasonable based upon avergage usage) for /var/mail, and
have QPopper spool to a different filesystem.
The trick is that the quota system doesn't stop the user from spilling over
the hard limit until a certain time has expired. I changed the expiration
time on /var/mail to a few minutes. Even on a slow machine this gives
QPopper plenty of time to un-spool back to the mail store.
I think I pondered this on this list before, and this is the system I have
been using since without any problem.
