Are /var/mail and /var/spool/poptemp on the same partition?

Are you running procmail as LDA ?
It respects quotas.
'mail' does not.

I'm having issues with my users blowing their storage quotas while checking
their mail.

Consider this...

User is at storage limit.
User checks mail.
/var/mail/user gets copied to /var/spool/poptemp/.user.pop
New mail comes into /var/mail/user
System cannot combine the 2 files back because it exceeds storage limit for
user.

Obviously user is leaving mail behind on server...

I haven't figured out a way around this.

Anyone run into this and figure out a way around it?

Thanks.
