Thanks Chuck and all thatoffered help.  It ended up being a stupid admin 
trick.  I had unzippedthe humongous tarball of the old site into the /home dir 
and the gid of the site in question ( a new one) was used on the old site.  We 
haddeleted a bunch of old sites before actually exporting and importing tothe 
new box.  The old gid was a big honkin site.

I feel your pain Bret.  I did EXACTLY the same thing. 

Moved all sites from an old box to a new one by cmuExporting all sites, dumping 
all databases, and than making a tarball of /home/sites & /home/.sites (just in 
case).  I already knew that cmuImport doesn't maintain site numbers when 
exporting/importing - and so changes group numbers.  I just didn't think about 
old GIDs and new GIDs affecting the quota subsystem.

When I unzipped the tarball under my /home/users/chuck directory to get a file 
- the old GIDs were still on the files.  Half a dozen domains immediately 
started complaining about not receiving e-mail.  And BlueQuartz showed them all 
over-quota.

It took me hours to track down the over-quota, since a du -hs /home/.sites/* 
didn't show their directories over limit.  I finally figured it out by doing a 
"find / -group groupname".  It found a whole bunch of files belonging to that 
group outside their /home/site/www.domain.tld directory.  When I figured out 
what happened, I just did a "chown -R root:root *" in that unzip directory and 
everything was fixed.

Congratulations on figuring it out.

Chuck
