Hello, Thank you for your reply. Adding mail_uid and mail_gid fixed it. I now have quotas going but I don't know if I have them right or just don't like my setup.
My first issue is from what it is looking like I have to define all my users in the quota database not just the ones whose values I want to override the global quota declaration in 90-quota.conf. If I just add the user@domain to the database the bytes and messages columns have zero as default, this means those values override global quota in 90-quota.conf and they effectively have unlimited access. My second issue is I have entered a quota of 250 megabytes for a test user. This works but he seems to get more space everytime he logs in, started out at 250, on the next login it was 255, then 269 on the third, and so forth. I've checked the quota table and yes the value in the bytes column is increasing. Thanks for any help. Dave.
