Hi,
         It all depends on how you have it mounted.  Quotas follow 
the partition. So if you have /var/mail as its own partition, you 
need to do it there. If you have /var/mail as a subdirectory of /var 
than do it on /var.

What is the contents of /etc/fstab on the box ?

I dont use webmin so I am not sure how it calculates things.
