Hi Justin, There are currently ways to limit IMAP. One thing you should remember is that the vlimits API is for full domain limits, not individual users. There are permission bits in the GID field in the password entry for the user. These I believe work. Before actually implementing the API, I sent out a request for all the additional items people wanted to see over and above what I wanted. This way the database schema would only have to be written once, and filled in later. Some limit the qmailadmin app, others go directly into vdelivermail. Others will go into other areas. Overall, I think we have a functional system as is, with placeholders for future features. The wishlist is high, but only so many things can make each release. If you've got the cycles and can crank out some of it tonight, send in a patch. Thanks, Brian
