Re: [ilugd] user quota on /var/spool/mail

There is no need to enter into arena of Filesystem quota. Better apply VDA
patch to postfix and take advantage of mailbox quota.

Cheers!

Hi finz,

I need to implement quota on /var/spool/mail directory, to restrict the

Please suggest me with the best possible way to do that. I have installed OS
with auto partitions. 

OS  :   Centos 4.4

postfix is the mta, are you serving this mail to usrs via dovevot or 
cyrus  ?

Cyrus has builtin quota handling that works a lot better than filesystem 
   limits, also it lets you manage that using a sane(er?) interface.

But I prefer Cyrus, it is - so far - a much better imap /pop3 server 
than dovecot and scales a lot better as well.

So, depending on what you are doing  it might be worth looking at cyrus 
as well.
