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.

what if a user mess its .forward accidentally or intentionally.
