[cobalt-users] /var size catchall and bandwidth

[baltimoremd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Have a user who gets hundreds of messages per hour
He setup a system to login every 5 minutes to collect mail...but
it went down, and I'm watching the space in /var/spool/mail
get eaten up by his mail.

A.
I could turn off his catchall, most of the mail is spam, and
the stuff would get bounced-but would I get bounce notifications
as admin(not my cup of tea if there are hundreds per hour), and
wouldn't the outbound bounce messages eatup my bandwith but NOT
show up as the user's bandwidth?

B.
I could forward all the catchall junk to his personal, not on my Raq,
email address, but how does that affect my bandwidth?

C.
I could, and am really tempted to do so, wish him well and suggest
STRONGLY that he find a new home?

This guy is no fun...in 5 hours he's gotten over 5 megs of mail that's
just sitting there...and it's Friday, and he's 3 hours behind me
