Thx Dan - yes, all very confusing especially when the different tools use
different values to create the same result!  busy today, but if i get a
chance i will check it out too...

Halmut...

Actually, my point was that I had noted previously that the NOQUOTA entry
was being stored in the database as 0

By forcing you to type the value NOQUOTA to enter a 0 into the field, you
are hoping to make sure that the user is not of the opinion that 0 means
disabled.

For example, in QMAILADMIN, you can stop users from using or creating mail
lists by limiting the field to 0. I'm not sure how to make it unlimited --
so my add-domain script allows up to 1000 of them. (This is probably an
example of where -1 is used, but I don't believe that -1 is recognized as
valid in the QMAILADMIN tool.

Probably ESPECIALLY because the 0 value has different meanings in different
places, the tool requires you to make a NOQUOTA entry in order to force a 0
value into the database. (In reality, the database probably does not allow
for a test entry in that field!)

The end result of this is, if you're using the CLI, then I don't think you
can say "NOQUOTA" to the vdominfo or vmoddomlimits programs. So, say 0 for
the quota values, and you GET a NOQUOTA. I'll check this out later today
when I get some time.

Thx Dan - yeah, I know 0 is often used  - but it can be used to disable or

set to unlimited.  Same with -1.  and then in this case we have the NOQUOTA

value as well...  Aarrgh!  :)

Helmut...



I cannot speak for the programmers of vpopmail, but it is common for 0 to be

used for the "no limit" value when populating a field like a Quota value



So... what that means is that your vmoddomlimits output correctly shows that

there is no limit for your domain.



NOTE: If you really wanted to make the domain have a zero limit, you would

need to set the value to 1 -- a 1MB limit is effectively always over quota.



I hope this helps...

Nobody, huh???



Is this where the default limits are set?

O.K. - so now I know to use this and not vqadmin.  ;)



So how do I set no quota?  The wiki page shows exactly the same thing 

as the help for the command:



 -Q quota-in-megabytes ( set domain disk quota, '100' = 100 MB )  -q 

quota-in-bytes ( set default user quota, '10M' = 10 MB )



I get this, but I don't want a quota on some domains.  I have 

previously created one with vqadmin and used NOQUOTA, and this is what 

vmoddomlimits shows when I do a -S (show current settings):



[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./vmoddomlimits -S mydomain.com

Domain: mydomain.com

Domain Quota: 0 MB

Default User Quota: 0 bytes

Max Domain Messages: 0

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]#



Note that Domain Quota has a 0, as well as default User Quota and # 

messages.  Vqadmin has no facility to set #messages, so I am guessing 

that is default for every domain I create.



Where do I set the defaults for domain/user and bytes/message quotas, 

as well as the other common settings (#accounts, mailing lists, etc.)?  

Is there a file these are pulled from that I can modify?



What are the proper values for setting no quotas?  Is it a 0 for the 

appropriate option (i.e. '-Q 0' or '-q 0' and '-M 0' and '-m 0')?



Are there any pointers on the non-postmaster account flags (the '-g

    

<flag>'

  

stuff)?  What would one use these for?  Example?



Thx any and all!!!



Helmut
