Hello,

We are finally getting around to rolling out the new QmailAdmin/Vpopmail
to all of our clients and we have received some suggestions on the
QmailAdmin interface.  I wanted to run them by the people on the list to
see if these are features that others would like to see or not.  If they
are, I will release a patch.

The first feature is the ability for a non-postmaster user to be able to
see their disk usage when the log into the QmailAdmin interface.  When I
had wrote the quota patch for version 1.0.4, I had included this
functionality along with the other quota code.  Most of the quota code
is intact in 1.2.1, but it seems that the non-postmaster section of the
interface was dramatically changed and the ability for the user to see
their quota usage was removed.  It would be very easy to add it back
in.  I'm thinking it would go nicely under the present "Quota" field and
would be present only on the non-postmaster section of the interface,
since the postmaster interface adequately shows the disk usage.

The second feature is just a simple modification.  It has been brought
to my attention that some people do not like putting in NOQUOTA when
they wish a user to not have a quota set.  I had chosen to use NOQUOTA
in the 1.0.4 patch out of pure laziness, so I take full blame.  It would
be just as easy to have the users just leave the quota field blank for
no quota.  It's a minor thing, but I could see how it would get annoying
to have to type in NOQUOTA when leaving it blank makes better sense.

The last "feature" would be to clean up my old quota conversion
functions and have them allocate their own memory, which could then be
released once the calling code is done with it.  Since it's only a
script, this isn't critical, but it would be cleaner.  I meant to clean
it up at some point, then thought somebody else would, so it seems time.

Let me know what people think of these proposed changes and whether
anyone outside of our network would like to see/use them.
