And how exactly? Most quota systems I've seen assume the mail gets put in the users' home dirs. Then you have to worry whether your MTA can do that, and whether your POP, IMAP, pine, elm, mail, Mail, mailx, MH, mutt, ... can figure out where to find their mail. Wondering what others are doing... One ISP I support gives 10-20MB of total users space for whatever they want: public_html, saved mail, anything. But they usually find problems when their POP mail box gets huge so it takes forever to download it into their remote reader. Would be nice to quota it, and nicer to implement something like file-per-message so retrieval and removal would be faster.
