I racked up 2.5 megs of mail in just one week away from a low volume

Request an account on Scully.cas.muohio.edu, Entropy.muc.muohio.edu, or
even Dragon.ham.muohio.edu if you'd like more disk space.  I know Scully
has a 1.2 gig drive 67% free (/home), Dragon has a 1.2 gig drive 46% free
(/home), and Entropy has a 500 meg hard drive 14% free.  There's sure to
be other machines around, these are all Linux, and I don't know if any of
the other administrators have put in quotas or not but Dragon has a 200
megabyte quota (and someone hit it). I know of Titan.sas.muohio.edu as
another Linux machine, not sure if it's open though.

Although we do have quite a few less students...
