Yes, your reply does answer my question, quota'ing does seem to
be a solution but I don't want to restrict from users for possessing
multiples of 10MB files.
I have already implemented quota's to prevent them from taking
up more than their designated home dir space, although it didn't seem,
from what I have read, that is possible to do much else with the quotas?

The convention on that list is to copy the sender on everything, so
you can ask questions without being subscribed. [The reverse of most
other mailing lists, but -questions exists specifically to act as a
tech support forum.
I *think* my answer was probably what you needed, though; if I guessed
wrong about what you're trying to do, you'll need to provide more
information.
