Hi,
	Summer is here, students are going home, without unsubscribing
from mailing lists. I have put a quota on /var but it doesn't work, as
sendmail is runing as root, and has no difficulties to write tens of
megabytes where the quota is just 1M. Is there any sollution to escape
from this situation? Tanx for your help, bye,
	Peter
