Hi,
I verified the problems and found the following out:
It ist generally not able to increase a size of a mailbox or create a
new mailbox that is over the "default Mailbox Quota" for this domain,
when the logged in user is domain administrator, not Superuser.
yeah, that's cool :)
ummm, it's not!
An example:
I have a trusted friend who uses an account on my server for his
email-domain. He is set up as domain administrator for the domain
myfriend.com, i did not set any DOMAIN quota for him as i
trust him, but
i have set a DEFAULT Mailbox quota of 20000kBytes. He wants
to create a
new mailbox with 50000kBytes of Quota, and web-cyradm tells
him that he
is over quota and the mailbox cannot be created.
It's not a bug, it's a feature! ;)
sounds like windows...
Another example:
The same user with the same domain wants to increase the size of a
mailbox already created with a quota of 10000kBytes. He can increase
size until reaching to 20000kBytes, but not above.
This is also correct.
Just another one:
When a domain admin has a DOMAIN quota of 10000kBytes and a DEFAULT
quota of 5000kBytes, he can create so much mailboxes of
5000kBytes until
reaching the Domain-quota (in this case 2), but he cannot create ONE
Mailbox with 7000kBytes for example.
That's also ok.
Not for me :)
Sorry Chris, I'm sure you don't have really understand
the quota feature. Domainadmin's are "half trusted", so
they can't create mailboxes over quota limit. If you trust
him and want to let him create mb's over quota give him
superuser rights.
I have about 30 domains on my system. I trust some of the domain admins,
but not all of them. The domain admin is my client, he gets a max space
to use for email accounts, the DOMAIN quota is set to this space. I want
him to be able to create so much accounts with the space he wants until
reaching to the domain-quota limit. The default Mailbox-Quota imho have
to be only a value that is taken as the mailbox quota as default, so
that the domain admin has not to edit the mailbox quota when creating
"standard" mailboxes. The value has the name "Default" quota, not "max"
quota!
If the behavior is planned like this, i think it would be better to
create an additional entry in the database named "max mailbox quota",
settable for every domain by the superuser. So you would be able to
create a domain with 100000kBytes of Domain quota, 5000kBytes of
standard mailbox quota and maybe 50000kBytes of max mailbox quota. So if
the domain admin clicks on "new account" in the field "mailbox quota"
appear the value of 5000kBytes, what would be the default, but he would
be able to set the mailbox size up to 50000kBytes. When the mailbox max
default is not set, he would be able to set mailboxes quota to whatever
he wants, until the addition of all mailbox quotas defined by him would
reach the value setted as domain quota.
IMO the current handling of Mailbox quotas is broken and would have to
be like i expected. I don't want to complain but it would be nessesary
for me in a Webhosting environment to have this feature as explained
above, without the "max account quota" of course, this was only an idea.
Is there any possibility to change this, maybe some of the devs find my
idea interesting and implement a config option that does what i want?
