speaking as provider, it does not make sense to me just let postmasters to decrease their user's quota (they will never do it), nor letting them to increase as they want (I don't want it!).
I've read here in the past that someone made a nice patch, using the postmaster's quota as pool to use as general quota of the domain. Each new user, or each increased quota value for any user would be decreased from postmaster's quota, any deletion of user or any decrease of user's quota would increase the postmaster's quota.
I'ld like to see that patch included, it would solve my problems (and a lot of other providers too, I think).
It would enought to do that only within qmailadmin, without touching vpopmail.

Just added new code to #ifdef ENABLE_MODIFY_QUOTA in the add and modify user code to completely disable setting quota's if --enable-modify-quota=n Also just updated the add_user template to use add_user_quota.html and add_user_noquota.html depending on MODIFY_ENABLE_QUOTA I wonder if we should change the code so it won't let the postmaster increase a quota above the default quota set in .qmailadmin-limits ?
