I suggest that you use mail software level quotas instead. What underlying storage mechanism do you use? If you use Cyrus (ie: Postfix+Cyrus+WebMail) then that has quotas built in that can be specified per user without requiring any special changes. If you have Postfix deliver direct to a mailbox or maildir then you'll have to investigate other ways of being able to do quotas per user. -- Federico Sevilla III F S 3 Consulting Inc. http://www.fs3.ph _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
