This assumes that each user on your box has their own separate group, using a standard sendmail install and /var is its own slice. Some of the pop servers (qpopper 4.x I know for sure), when re-writing the pop box file, writes the temp file with the same owner of the file, and will cause quotas to have a problem, when the combined file size exceeds your limit. By using groupquota instead of userquota, this issue can be avoided. Please note that it is also best to have /var its own slice in this case. Otherwise, you can run into issues with user home storage limitations as well.
