Mail quota settings control the maximum sizes of a user’s mailbox and the system’s response if these limits are exceeded. Mailbox data that is not monitored against a quota increases the risk of mail loss due to filled disk space, which can also render the system unavailable. Failure to allow mail receipt may impede users from receiving mission-critical data. |
