Maybe replace procmail with maildrop and use soft maildir quotas (I got this working on a server). Alternatively you can use the virtual delivery to use soft maildir quotas, but I don't known how to enable spamassassin in this case (maybe a global postfix filter). http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/ http://www.oav.net/vda/ -- Emmanuel Lacour ------------------------------------ Easter-eggs 44-46 rue de l'Ouest - 75014 Paris - France - M�tro Gait� Phone: +33 (0) 1 43 35 00 37 - Fax: +33 (0) 1 41 35 00 76 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.easter-eggs.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
