Re: [vchkpw] disk quota per domain
Hi, I have installed qmail+qmailadmin+sqwebmail and assigned OS quota to a user test.Then, I have added a domain using option -u user (sets the uid/gid based on a user in /etc/passwd) #./vadddomain -u test xyz.com the command works well and the domain is added into the /home/test/domains directory. But when I login in to qmailadmin/sqwebmail it shows "Invalid Login". Whats wrong? Plz. help me...

RE: [vchkpw] disk quota per domain
I read in the past of someone who made a coomon pool and give the code, but I can't find who made it. I remember he did this: the postmaster quota is the pool from which all users' quotas are added/subtracted. So, postmaster may modify single quotas, having the common pool limit in his postmaster's quota. This solution would permit to make very few modifications to qmailadmin, and give postmaster a reasonable way to handle quotas. There should be a line like "enablequotapool postmaster" in .qmailadminlimits che could enable this option, setting the user whose quota must be the domain pool to use in qmailadmin. Then, each single add/delete/modify user should check the pool quota and modify it. I'ld like to have both the possibility, "global quota" (all users have the same global quota) and "pooled quota" (all single quotas are derived from a master pool quota), on a domain base, and I think the base code of qmailadmin now may changed easily to support both these options.

RE: [vchkpw] disk quota per domain
There is already domain limits from the qmailadmin-limits file/table. I don't believe in the concept of sum(user limits) == domain limit Most users will need a small quota, however there are times when they'll need more just for a once in a blue time to get a large attachment through, but overall don't require a large quota. Making the postmaster rearrange quotas on a regular basis is not practical, especially when the quota extention is requested is typically too late. We already *have* a workable solution. Use system limits. For those that want domain limits compiled into vdelivermail, I already have it written in my 5.2 code. I just need to port it to the 5.3.16 code. The only change is to use the vget_limits() API. But due to performance, I believe 99% of the users should still use system quotas due to the heavy performance hit *on every message delivered*. I have over 700,000 messages delivered each day. I had to take out the extra hit on domain limits. System quotas work just fine, especially on systems with over a thousand domains.

That actually sounds like it may work.

RE: [vchkpw] disk quota per domain
I'm thinking to a new solution, modifying qmailadmin as follows. A unique ".qmailmaildirsize" should be created in the domain, and every user should have his own "maildirsize" linked by an "ln -sf" to the domain's ".qmailmaildirsize". \domain \domain\.qmailmaildirsize [global] \domain\user1\Maildir\maildirsize --> ..\..\.maildirsize[-> global] \domain\user2\Maildir\maildirsize --> ..\..\.maildirsize[-> global] \domain\user3\Maildir\maildirsize --> ..\..\.maildirsize[-> global] \domain\user4\Maildir\maildirsize [alone] \domain\user5\Maildir\maildirsize [alone] Each user using the domain quota should have the same quota (equal to the domain quota itself). Users with own quota don't use this mechanism and have their private "maildirsize". The only major add should be a routine to recheck the "domain's global usage" when domain's ".qmailmaildirsize" is created (or recreated after deletion), counting only users working with global "maildirsize". Main problem I see could be the lock on the global ".maildirsize", domains (with global quota) with thousands of very active users could slow down on receiving messages. All that should work with a very few modifications (none in vdeliver, vpopmail, etc., only a few in qmailadmin).

Unfortunately adding a unique user per domain is not a viable solution for a lot of people especially when there are thousands of domains. I have implemented domain quota by tweaking old vpopmail code before maildirquota was implemented. Basically disabling user quota and recalculate quota for the entire domain when new mail arrives.

[vchkpw] disk quota per domain
Hi!!! I have installed Qmail+vpopmail+swwebmail on Redhat Linux 8.0 Now, I want to implement disk quota per virtualdomain. when I add a virtualdomain ./vadddomain manish.com -q 200 this option works as -q quota_in_bytes (sets the quota for postmaster account) Sets the quota for postmaster account. But as I have 25 virtualdomains, I want to allocate specified disk quota to each virtualdomain. And the postmaster of that virtualdomain can use that disk space as per his requirement with any number of users. I don't want to use sytem file quota. Please give the workable answer...
