I submitted patches to mail.local quite some time ago -- I believe they made it
into the 2.2 tree at that time. One note you should only run quota's on one
filesystem on your system or problems may arise (or so the common rumor seems
to be). So you might want to move /var/mail to /home/var.mail and make
/var/mail a link..
