--- Begin Message ---Package: courier-base Version: 0.45.6.20040712-1 Severity: normal If you call `maildirmake -q 2147483647S ./foo && cat ./foo/maildirsize` (after doing the initial `maildirmake ./foo`), you end up w/: 2147483647S 0 0 That's fine; a quota of 2147483647 bytes, and the mailbox is currently empty. However, if you increase the number of bytes by 1 (`maildirmake -q 2147483648S ./foo && cat ./foo/maildirsize`), you get: 0 0 Presumably, courier is overflowing a signed integer, and refusing to write out a negative number for the quota. It should probably use an unsigned long instead (or even an uint64_t, if the platform allows for it), and if it overflows that, die w/ a non-zero code. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages courier-base depends on: ii debconf 1.4.36 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl 5.8.4-2.2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- debconf information: courier-base/maildir: Maildir courier-base/authnotice: * courier-base/webadmin-configmode: false
