        \_ Don't even start this again.  Mail here is fucked and it's always
           been fucked and that won't change.  Future whining about spool
           usage on the motd will be purged without comment.
           \_ i knew this would get you excited.
           \_ Solve this problem once and for all by having everyone
              switch to a decent mail reader like mh where your can
              put the following in your .forward and get all your mail
              transfered to your home dir:
              "| /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal -user <lusername>"
              \_ This is not a solution. Smart people are already using
                 procmail to put all or most of their incoming messages in
                 their home directory. And those who aren't doing this already
                 are deserving getting their mail lost.
              \_ how about something equally impractical/lame:
                 forward to free emailers @ hotmail/yahoo/etc
                 \_ "> /dev/null"
        [followup comments purged.  this is the last time a mail spool gripe
         will appear on the motd and stay here for an extended period of time.
         move your own mail off the spool and shut up about it]
