We are running vpopmail 5.4.10, qmailadmin 1.2.9, and maildrop 1.5.3 on Debian. This is one of those cross-software questions, but I'm posting to the vpopmail list because vdelivermail seems to be part of the issue. We are seeing a strange problem with maildrop and quotas. When a user gets over quota, maildrop and vdelivermail go crazy and spawn of hundreds or thousands of processes. We have qmailadmin set so that when you check the "Enable Spam" box for a user, it puts this in the .qmail file: |preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop /etc/mailfilter
We use Sqwebmail as a web interface for filter setup. I was looking for a solution, and found this patch, but I'm not sure that it has anything to do with our issue. http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.com/msg24317.html I don't really care if someone gets a message or two over the quota or if part of a message makes it go over quota, but I don't want thousands of processes running when someone has filters and hits a quota. Our qmail does use the chkuser patch and we use simscan. Thanks for any suggestions... Trey
