Re: [vchkpw] How to bypass quota
I completly agree with you , but imagine that you going on holidays and you receive lot of email during this period . you reach your quota and don't receive mail anymore ? I think it's better to block user for sending but continue to receive mail . what you think about this ?

I think it's better to block user for sending but continue to receive mail . what you think about this ? i think if the user knows ahead of time that they will be leaving, they can ask the mail administrators to raise their quota temporarily while they're gone. if they fail to do so and their mailbox overflows, it's their own fault. of course if you do this for a user, find out when they're coming back, and give them a date after they return when their quota will be returned to normal, so that they aren't surprised when their larger quota goes away. of course, don't forget to set their quota back to their normal limit- otherwise the users will get used to the larger quota and come to expect it all the time, which is a good way to fill up a hard drive. -- | John M.

Can i do that ? so what you're saying is that some users want to have no quota at all. that's almost always more of a business decision than a technical decision. the technical end is easy- change or remove the quota as needed. however, somebody with authority has to decide that it's okay to do this. and if the powers that be decide that they don't want to allow this, or that they will if the client pays more money, but the client doesn't want to pay, then the client needs to learn to not leave so much of their mail on the server. if they don't move some of their stored messages off of the server, then the quota mechanism will continue to block incoming messages when their mailbox is full. somebody with the appropriate authority needs to make a decision... the options are to raise or remove the quota for that mailbox, or tell the user to do a better job of managing their quota. -- | John M.
