We're relatively new to all this.  We're running JNET 3.4 and just
got our PMDF tapes.  We've noticed that JNET re-installs MAIL with
EXQUOTA.  This means that disk quotas are pretty useless.  Anyone
(priv or no) can send mail to a user who has exceeded his quota.

Joiner claims MAIL's gotta have EXQUOTA.  sigh.  Does PMDF need
it, too?
