Thankyou for your responses. I was confused on mail quota for users
and max. message size. Sorry!
I am interested in mail quota for users. I was told there are two levels:
delivery level and file-system level. I would like delivery level.
How can I set delivery level mail quota for each user?
Thanks,
Kristina
