Actually, there are cases where large quotas are the last resort, e.g. we 
usually tell the staff "there is no quota", but, well, some treat this 
sentence literally and delete _no_ _single_ mail, not even SPAM, and, 
furthermore, used the mail store as file store. So we enforced a 
filesystem based 8GB limit, and, guess what, some (approx one of 35) hit 
the limit.
