This problem stems from the fact that we safety-valve the quarantining of
any e-mail that is modified. We rarely, if ever, use those e-mails. At the
moment, we are being hammered with a bunch of phish e-mails that include an
exe attachment. Because of that, we are quickly exceeded ext3's limits.
I have a feeling, others will have this issue as well and it was a nasty
surprise to find out I didn't have a quarantined copy of a message because
of this.
