This may be both true and fine advice, but is it really not possible to accomplish what I need without further changing the system? My mailserver is dovecot, my users are all local system accounts, and /var/spool mail contains mostly lightly-used mbox format....so I think I will go with a filesystem quota? Many thanks, Eugene
