I am not setting the environment variable MAILDIRQUOTA for some reasons:
1. If user has access to their maildrop filter, or they have shell access,
then the MAILDIRQUOTA makes no sense.
2. I rather have all user information (including quotas) set in vpopmail's
mysql db, for administration reasons.
3. Eventually, I do not want to use maildrop at all, except maybe for
filtering. But I'd like to find a better solution.
And because I do not set the variable MAILDIRQUOTA, my mailfilter contains a
section like so:
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[...]
`test -s "$VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize"`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -Q [EMAIL PROTECTED]
`test -s "$VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize"`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
{
`/usr/sbin/chown vpopmail:vchkpw $VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize`
`/bin/chmod 640 $VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize`
}
}
The vuserinfo -Q [EMAIL PROTECTED] will create the maildirsize file, owned by root
(or whatever maildrop runs as), if it does not already exist.
This works pretty good.
After using maildrop for all deliveries on the NFS volume, I think I am not
having the problem with the negated quotas (possibly caused by
vdelivermail/qmail-local w/ maildir++ patch not rebuilding maildirsize) any
more.
It's only been a couple days, so I will wait until monday then I will
confirm :)
