Scott, I think you are SOL if you are running virtual domains. I called Ipswitch about this awhile back and they told me the reason it doesn't work is a FEATURE or Imail? Like that's how it should work?? The logic baffles me, but the fact is if you are using virtuals you can't limit storage. You can limit message size globally via Web Messaging, but not SMTP. You have to go into each domain and setting the limits, but this is a pain. Then the host admin can change any of these settings or if any new account is added they will not inherit the limits. This is a real problem when you have 1,000 virtuals on a mail server. I was hoping you could change all this via registry and then just run a script that goes through the entire registry and sets limits, but this too doesn't work.
IMHO this, only second to list serve, is the thing that Imail needs the most work on. -Frazer -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Scott Forsyth Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 7:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] restricting mailbox sizes Hi, I have what I believe is a simple question. We use the web based control panel for administrative purposes on IMail Server v6 and would like to setup each new domain name so that the following are true: - max single email size of 5Mb - mailbox sizes have a max size of 10Mb that the Host Administrator can't control. In other words, if the host administrator sets up a new account, they can't change the default size of 10Mb. Is this easily possible? Do I need to change the html templates to keep from changing the 10Mb? About the max single email size of 5Mb, when setting up a new virtual host, I see a field called: "Single Message Max Size". This appears to be in bytes and is in all the documentation. But, I can't seem to get this to fail. I've setup a new virtual host where this is set to 1,000,000 and I've even tried 1 but I can't see to get it to fail back because of the message being too large. What am I missing? Any suggestions?
