Devdas: Maildirs CAN support both filesystem quotas and software quota enforced by the MDA. I am doing this on a site running Courier SMTPd. mboxes cannot enforce quota at the filesystem level. They can, at the MDA level, if the MDA allows scripting (procmail does). > > What do you mean by 'one that understands MAILDIRS'.

Courier IMAP is an IMAP server; its not a delivery agent. The delivery agent for Courier is called maildrop, with a scripting interface similar to that of procmail. It can, in fact be used as a drop-in replacement for procmail. Needless to say, it supports maildirs natively too. ;-) Procmail needn't be recompiled to support maildirs. It supports Maildirs natively nowadays. If a mailbox name ends with a / character, procmail assumes it is a maildir, and creates it if necessary. This /etc/procmailrc is all that it takes to move to ~/Maildir instead of /var/spool/mail/username on a sendmail+procmail box: binand@binand[~]:(1) cat /etc/procmailrc DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ Binand ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
