Domini on iSeries and UDFS

Ken,

Believe me. I like Simple.  Reminds me of myself.  I guess what I'm 
eluding to is, just when you think that you have enough space in you 
system ASP, somebody could spam enough people with a moderately sized 
email and all of a sudden you don't have a nice cushion.  Even worse, 
no cushion.  With alot of email databases, it wouldn't have to be a 
large attachment and folks might not exceed their email database size.
We will be implementiong Unified Messaging as well with our Domino 
Servers.  That allows all phone (Voice over IP) to be saved in your 
email inbox.  So, while the average voice mail is less than a MB, I 
could grow fast.
I do agree with you about rentention as well as training to be 
essential to managing space.
