Re: quota and /var/mail
:) just another comment about quotas in emails.. (though its also not for sendmail) you might also want to check QMAIL. theres a very nice installation guide for FreeBSD in http://freebsd.qmailrocks.org/ you'll just have to follow the step-by-step installation and in the end you'll have a nice web-based interface for maintaining users/virtual domains, with spam/virus filtering and other stuff :) = Gil A.

However, again, it requires a bit of learning as it works differently. ---Mike Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: quota and /var/mail
Hello Mike, Thank you for your answer, as im stuck on this point and lost with my users, beside none answering this question on the list! No when I enabled quota I did the configuration on /usr shall i enable it on /var to? then how to make the sendmail or the shell reads the user quota on his home directory and his /var/mail/$username ? When i check my webmin, the section of read user mail will give you the total amount of user useage (including /var/mail/$userInbox) but if i go to quota in my webmin it will show only home directory quota. I'm telling you this information, not because i care about webmin, but i ment to say if webmin can read the home directory quota and add to it the /var/mail/$userInbox size then for sure I can do it some how? Please Advise.
