Halmut...
Actually, my point was that I had noted previously that the NOQUOTA
entry was being stored in the database as 0
By forcing you to type the value NOQUOTA to enter a 0 into the field,
you are hoping to make sure that the user is not of the opinion that 0
means disabled.
For example, in QMAILADMIN, you can stop users from using or creating
mail lists by limiting the field to 0. I'm not sure how to make it
unlimited -- so my add-domain script allows up to 1000 of them. (This is
probably an example of where -1 is used, but I don't believe that -1 is
recognized as valid in the QMAILADMIN tool.
Probably ESPECIALLY because the 0 value has different meanings in
different places, the tool requires you to make a NOQUOTA entry in order
to force a 0 value into the database. (In reality, the database probably
does not allow for a test entry in that field!)
The end result of this is, if you're using the CLI, then I don't think
you can say "NOQUOTA" to the vdominfo or vmoddomlimits programs. So, say
0 for the quota values, and you GET a NOQUOTA. I'll check this out later
today when I get some time.

Thx Dan - yeah, I know 0 is often used - but it can be used to disable or
set to unlimited. Same with -1. and then in this case we have the NOQUOTA
value as well... Aarrgh! :)

Helmut...
I cannot speak for the programmers of vpopmail, but it is common for 0 to be
used for the "no limit" value when populating a field like a Quota value
So... what that means is that your vmoddomlimits output correctly shows that
there is no limit for your domain.
NOTE: If you really wanted to make the domain have a zero limit, you would
need to set the value to 1 -- a 1MB limit is effectively always over quota.
I hope this helps...

O.K. - so now I know to use this and not vqadmin. ;)
So how do I set no quota? The wiki page shows exactly the same thing
as the help for the command:
-Q quota-in-megabytes ( set domain disk quota, '100' = 100 MB ) -q
quota-in-bytes ( set default user quota, '10M' = 10 MB )
I get this, but I don't want a quota on some domains. I have
previously created one with vqadmin and used NOQUOTA, and this is what
vmoddomlimits shows when I do a -S (show current settings):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./vmoddomlimits -S mydomain.com
Domain: mydomain.com

Note that Domain Quota has a 0, as well as default User Quota and #
messages. Vqadmin has no facility to set #messages, so I am guessing
that is default for every domain I create.
Where do I set the defaults for domain/user and bytes/message quotas,
as well as the other common settings (#accounts, mailing lists, etc.)?
Is there a file these are pulled from that I can modify?
What are the proper values for setting no quotas? Is it a 0 for the
appropriate option (i.e. '-Q 0' or '-q 0' and '-M 0' and '-m 0')?
Are there any pointers on the non-postmaster account flags (the '-g
<flag>'
stuff)? What would one use these for? Example?
Thx any and all!!!
