/var/spool/mail is a temporary holding facility. Keep in mind that you also have your system logs on the /var filesystem, and they *_need_* room to grow. Best to use either procmail or maildrop to push the mail to the users $HOME dirs, where you can safely apply limits and control user access. Giving user access to the same filesystem as the system logging facilities is not a great idea. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
