I just noticed that /var/mail is mounted under the root filesystem, on 
our system the root file system has about 50 megs or so, so that leaves 
about 20 to free space. A couple users receiving some large MIME 
encapsulated messages could kill that easy. If I created a link between 
/var/mail and another drive (say /usr/mail) would that show up as a mail 
security-flag, or is it kosher? 

BTW, what is the format for specifying quotas on users and groups?

Thanks in advance,

Jerry.
