That's why Brian suggested to create each domain under its own system user. It's easy, and it _works_. Personally, I'm really bored by that domain quota question because it just came up the 10,000th time on the list. System quotas work fine and are a much cleaner solution than the fifth Maildir extension that's not used by every single tool that uses vpopmail (vdelivermail, qmail-pop3d, Courier-IMAP, sqwebmail, blahblahblah...). If there are ways to circumvent domain quota settings, it's better to throw them away at all. It's good practice to set limits _outside_ the programs that should be limited. If you want to limit the memory of a process, you use "softlimit -m <number>" around it instead of telling the process "I know, you can use as much memory as you need, but please, use only <number> bytes". The same should apply to quota settings. However, that's my very personal opinion; feel free to discuss this issue until its bloody end ;-) Jonas
