So everyone at Best fully understood that the arrangement is 25/10/10
meg and that you've knowingly decided to take away 10 in the move?  
I assumed it was an oversite or misunderstanding.  Apparently not.

You know fully well that you're screwing your users for close to 20%
of their space, you've been questioned on it, and are going to do it
anyway.  Sounds like a pretty lame way to do business.

So the real reason for putting the inbox in the users home dir is just
an excuse to cut disk quota's by 10 meg.  Since there will only be 2k
users on any shell machine the former excuse of having a huge number
of files in the spool directory doesnt even hold.
