The quotawarn file is a 0-byte file stored in the user's directory and is only used to determine the last time an actual warning was sent. I'm not sure I understand why that is a problem. If the file is over 24 hours old, removing it will have no effect on the behavior of vdelivermail. If it's less than 24 hours old, the user will get another warning the next time their box goes over 90% full. If you wanted to, you could add a cron job on your system to find quotawarn files older than 24 hours and delete them, but I don't think there's a need to do so. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

Welll.. then it is buggy, because even if their mailbox is not at quota, guess what? they still get the message! This bug was reported to the list months ago (back around sept/oct). If it actually worked the way you are specifying, I wouldn't be complaining, but the has been a repeatable occurance, and the fix is to delete the quoatawarn file. -Greg -Greg
