Hi again Another quota-related question. Take it with a grain of salt, as I haven't worked directly on this problem so I don't have much data (sorry).
A co-worker told me he has received calls from some of our users, who said they were receiving the "quota warning" message while their account was empty. In these occasions he went to each user's maildir directory, took a look (du, find, ls, etc) and saw that the user was right and had no mails there. Then he took a look at the maildirsize file on the user's folder and it looked like this on our 50Mb-1000msg-quota setup: 50000000S,1000C 50000049 (or whatever, bigger than 50Mb) 499 ( < 1000) On every occasion, he guessed that there was something wrong with this file, deleted it, and everything started working again (and the maildirsize was re-generated automatically with correct values). My co-worker told me he has had to do this several times since we enabled the quotas on our server a couple of weeks ago. Again, I haven't personally received any complains from our users regarding this problem, and as my co-worker has deleted the maildirsize on every call I can't give you more info on the problem... So, here goes the question: Which processes access/update/read this maildirsize file? When? In which order? What do each one of them do with it? Which process is to blame in here? Where can I look at for more info on this? We're running qmail-ldap 20031101a, the pop3 server which comes with qmail and Courier IMAP 1.4.3-2.3 (from Debian Woody).
