I naively thought it was enough for quota system to work. Though it doesn't. I asked the same question some time ago, and was told that it is not the quota system broken, but mail.local. Though I doubt that such a simple prog as mail.local may be broken (and for so long time), I agree that a little hacking of it is easier than hacking libc. ;) > Bernie -- Litvin Alexander
