You're right, disk space is cheap, but tonight we received a "small" .doc crap (0,8MB) to a "normal" user account ... but not once, no, the wild running script on the other side send it about 2000 times, totalling 1.6GB! I took a closer look to my quota and max msg size setting and asked myself: could this happen to a role account (abuse/postmaster), too? Sure it could! >>Should I define a lower, a higher or no limit at all? > > process the email in a timely fashion and you will not hit limits My question was about "max msg size", not quota. >>What about quota for role accounts? > > bouncing complaints with a message that abuse@ is over quota is a sure- > fire way of being put into blacklists.... don't do it! Despite the fact that I have not received any abuse complaint so far, I just want to prevent excessive transfer volumina.
