@singpolyma Depends on how you want to manage disk space for mail. /var or /home … your preference

@singpolyma Yes, depending on the tools. Some expect /var/mail to be mboxes. I put maildirs on /srv/mail on my mailservers.

@singpolyma Full home dir filesystem (or quota) should not prevent mail delivery. If they’re network shares, natural homes may also differ.
