So we added 10G back in February, mail usage seems to have grown quite a
bit since then
http://webextra.osgeo.osuosl.org/munin/osgeo.org/mail.osgeo.org-df.html

Looks like we've actually done that 2x since we created the VM. Is all
of that legit mail and archives? The growth curve seems quite steep and
long term difficult to sustain. Are those archives compressed?

I estimate we still have 250 G of room that can be used to grow on
osgeo4. Also once the new backup machine is online that will free up 500 G.

I'll prepare a request to augment the disk with OSUOSL but we should
look at reducing the rate of growth if it doesn't impact the service.

Thanks,
Alex
