Hi Chris,
Just install procmail, it respects users quotas in /var/mail, its in the
ports /usr/ports/mail/procmail.
Then add this line to the sendmail.mc file:
FEATURE(local_procmail)
And remove this line:
MAILER(local)dnl
Compile your mc file into a cf file and install it in /etc/mail if you are
using sendmail 8.11.0, or in /etc if you are using 8.9.3, then just
"killall -HUP sendmail" should take care of applying the changes.
Have Fun...
Ales
