RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail max quota of 2GB
are u running mailbox or maildir? u might have hit a file system 2gb file size limit if you are running mailbox. I am running maildir, so there's no limit in file size. Thanks, Iulian
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail max quota of 2GB
Hi Tom,
Thank you for the answer. I consider writing an implementation for
maildir++ quota that supports over 2GB in a shared library and use it
with all the software that is in place (courier-imap, vpopmail and
qmail).

One options: rewrite the Maildir++ patches for qmail and POP/IMAP servers,
along with vpopmail's quota support code to use a larger variable type to
store the sizes (long long?). It might be possible to work around it with a
hack of storing message sizes in bytes, but the total of the sizes (and the
user's quota) in KB. This would get you up to 2TB quotas.
foreach message_size do {
bytes += message_size;
kbytes += bytes / 1024;
bytes = bytes % 1024;
}
I'm sure that at the time it was written, 2GB seemed like an insane quota for
a mailbox. Unfortunately it's now a realistic number.
Keep in mind that if you've got 2GB mailboxes, it probably requires lots of
resources to recalculate disk usage. Consider running a nightly cronjob that
calculates disk usage for all email users and warns the ones who are over
quota. If they stay over for a certain period, bill them or turn their
account off.
Not a pretty solution, but I'm afraid there's no easy way to support quotas
over 2GB.
