Re: mail system in debian-edu

Hi,

when trying to get the mail system working out of the box with
debian-edu and gosa, I got the following idea:

What about using the home directories (~/Maildir) as mail directories
instead of /var/mail/foobar?

This would have one advantage: There is only on location where the
user's data is stored and if a user is removed, all his mails will
also be cleared. Are there any disadvantages?

If using quota and hitting the roof, or if (arrgh!) /home is full, mails are rejected instead of just unavailable to the user until space have been freed.

Despite that I very much favor such setup!
