mail spool used to store files.

We have a system with diskquota enabled. Some students have found a
way to get more quota by storing in their mail file in
/usr/spool/mail.

We have thought of two solutions:

	1. Enable quotas on the spool disk. Limits the problem but
           doesn't solve it. And, if a user get lots of mail...
	   
	2. Keep spool files in the users home-directory. Has the 
	   the same disadvantages.

If you have any good ideas, email them to me. I'll summarize.
