I'm interested in this also, as I have some problems with quota and qpopper in /var/spool/mail. If a user reached half+1 of its quota in filesystem where /var is located, qpopper might fails, because it makes a copy of the maildrop file to work safely. I just couldn't find any workaround to this. Putting the user email's directly in /home might help as I have larger quotas for users there and a overflow of /home wouldn't stop the whole system. > > One way is to implement a per-user ~/.forward file.
