-
- With non-mail files, the equivalent of delivering the mail is when the
- user RECEIVEs the file into their directory. Are you suggesting that operation
- be performed with EXQUOTA?

-
- It just make the problem worse. I can send all my files to myself, delete
- them, build a bunch of new stuff up to my quota, then RECEIVE the original
- files back.

-
- I wonder if anyone has given them a complete, well thought out proposed
- solution to the problem.
