I'm ready activate quotas on a client's mailserver to help with the rampant collection of mail (some have 50MB+) on the server.
I've gotten minimal functionality with procmail and sendmail for receiving. Now I need to know how I can avoid problems with the .pop spool. I actually have QPopper use a different directory for the temporary spool, that helped with quotas in the past. However, now when QPopper goes to reconstruct the mailfile, a box that exceeds the quota becomes garbage, or doesn't rebuild at all. I have a couple of ideas using the hard and soft limits, but I'm thinking they might not work well in practice, or perhaps I'm over-thinking the problem. Is there anyone here with experience in this area that can offer some advice? TIA. ** Alan ][ ** -- Alan W. Rateliff, II
