We use the 256K default, with an override value of 1024K for users on the local system or in our campus domain. We host a rather large filelist (1800 files, about 200MB, a shadow of an Internet archive) and find that there are a number of users who regularly request unreasonable numbers of files. If we had no limit, our entire mail system would be tied up sending those files for quite a while. Most users are understanding (if not happy) when this is explained to them. Often complaints about the quota can be handled by pointing out that the _first_ request by a user in a given day is not subject to the limit. This won't help if the user wants a number of small files, but it does if s/he needs a small number of big files, or even just one monthly log. Mark R.
