How is this supposed to work? From what I can gather, the "old"(??) domain quota actually tried to make a real domain-wide quota where if the total was set to 100MB, all users combined could go up to that limit. I don't really care for that, imagine the confusion when one user bumps the quota and every user's mail starts bouncing and getting over-quota warnings. Is that how it works? I'd much prefer a scheme where I sell, say 100MB in a domain and let the postmaster divvy up the quotas on a per-user basis. Let me know if that's on the roadmap, if it's not, I may be able to sweeten the pot. In 1.0.29, I see that letting the postmaster modify quotas enforces nothing; even if the domain has a default quota of 20MB, the postmaster can go in and set any user to 1000MB if they want. > Note, domain quotas in vpopmail might not be working properly in 5.4.0. > I don't use quotas myself, and haven't had time to try to figure out > the problem. I don't think domain quotas (as I perhaps misunderstand them) are a really good idea; it seems like it would just lead to confusion all around for the users and for support departments. What happens right now in the -stable releases if domain quotas are enabled anyhow?
