If you want to only have one set of quotas, you might consider
switching to a Postfix/Maildir setup where your users' inboxes will be
located in their home folder rather than in /var/mail.
It's a fairly easy switch: install Postfix from
/usr/ports/mail/postfix, and then you just need to configure one line
in your Postfix's main.cf to turn on Maildir support:
http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#maildir
Though, there might be a bit of a learning curve with respect to the
differences between Sendmail and Postfix to convert the rest of your
configuration over. It all depends on how complicated your current
setup is.

Hello Mike,

/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, with quotas, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1g on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
I just want the quota to read the Shell user (home directory) size plus the
INBOX mails
which stay in /var/mail/$UserName
Currently the quota reads the home directory and ignores the $inbox
Thak you mike
