As others have said, this is a function of the LDA, but it is also a terrible idea. Disk space is cheap. Set a reasonable limit on the size of email (10-25MB) and you shouldn't have any trouble. If you do have trouble with specific users, deal with that. > The basic need is limiting the amount of disk space mailbox files are using > without rejecting mail. What you want to do is delete mail from users without notification or recourse in preference to accepting mail. The proper method is to reject mail since that notifies the sender the mail could not be delivered, and that is a recoverable act.
