Why would you need 200K lines for 15-20K UIDs? /vol/vol0/maildir tree 45000M 3072K The above is a quota tree I have in action today, that is 45GB in size, allowing 3M files. Now, for some staff accounts: drechsau user@/vol/vol0/maildir/dr/drechsau 3000M 50K jon user@/vol/vol0/maildir/jo/jon 300M 15K So, I have a 3GB quota (I have source code and such) with 50K files allowed. Jonathan has a 300MB quota and allowed 15K files. This goes on for a couple thousand lines, until my default: * user@/vol/vol0/maildir 40M 5K which sets anyone *not* listed to a 40MB quota and 5K files. The only reason to list someone is because they paid money to us to have a larger quota. If we don't allow customers to do this, this file would be maybe a 100 lines long for all 20K UIDs and would only have lines for the staff that *need* a larger quota. > Cu, Oli-"I do think bigger"-ver Well, I think you and I aren't on the same page somewhere along the way. -- Mike Horwath IRC: Drechsau [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home: 763-540-6815 1901 Sumter Ave N, Golden Valley, MN 55427 Opinions stated in this message, or any message posted by myself through my Geeks.ORG address, are mine and mine alone, period. _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
