I'm not familiar with domain quotas, I thought this works with

i'n nearly sure domain quota works as i have described. Maybe you want
to tell me if you had time to investigate this.
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!
Hmmm, perhaps the description from "default quota" is not precise
enough. With the word "quota", you descibe a limit, so max quota
is tautologous.
Why? The Superuser sets a Maximum quota value and the Domain
Administrator can set a quota of what he wants until reaching the
maximum quota, i think in this case you can give it this name...
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
Set domain quota to the value above, standard mb quota to 50000
and the domain admin has to downgrade the value when adding a
mailbox.
Of Course, i can set the default quota to what the domain quota is. I
have some users who have i. e. a domain with 10000kBytes of Domain quota
and they have addes only ONE Mailbox with full 10000kBytes of quota. To
make this possible, i would have to set everytime i add a new domain the
domain quota and default quota the same value. The problem i will have
will be the following:
Some of my Domain Admins are something silly users, so they will puth
the button "create new mailbox", give it a name, push "create new
mailbox" again and complain with me because the get an error message
about the quota. I will have to explain them that they have to take care
about the quotas...
Really, i do want to use the "default mailbox quota" as a
"default-quota", not as a "max quota". This would solve all my and my
clients problems.
Today one of them called me, crying: He has two mailboxes in his domain,
one of them with the default quota of 5120kBytes (the value i gave him
as default quota) and another (his own one) that has also 5120kBytes,
but is nearly full now. So he thought: No problem, i have a Domain quota
of 102400kBytes, so i set my mailbox to a bigger quota and that's it. I
had to tell him that this was not possible and now i understand why. I
had to increase his Mailbox size as Superuser.
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?
Nice idea.
I don't think this would be a big problem, but changes to
web-cyradm came veeeeery slowly ..
I know very little PHP, and don't want to break the code so i don't want
to put my fingers in the sourcecode of web-cyradm. And as web-cyradm is
the only really usable and fine thing to do what it does, i only can
hope that someone implements this feature.
