When we upgrade our Cyrus version to 2.1.x or 2.2 later this summer, (curently on 2.0.16) I was planning to see if I could put a patch together to have COPY not enfore quotas. Or maybe for the really paranoid, not enforce quotas if the destination mailbox is user.<username>.Trash ) This would seem to solve most of the "move to trash" delete quota problems. While I could see ways that this could lead to abuse of the mail server, I think for the vast majority of users, the shutdown of delivery of new messages woul be sufficient incentive to fix the over quota status and the risk of abuse is relatively small/
Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea? Is this a really bad idea?
Any tips on where in the code to look? I spent a few minutes looking at imapd.c, index.c and append.c in 2.0.16 and I am guessing that if I change the quotacheck argument to -1 in the append_setup call in index_copy it will bypass the quota check on copy. Have not actually tried this yet.
Thanks,
John Wade

IMAP uses the delete/expunge model. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
