Re: quotas

If yes, the error from the system "Quota exceeded" should cover both size and number.

Re: Quotas and qmail: file number
Please go to the qmail site and use mailquotacheck.sh [perl script] It works great and is very simple to implement Shashi - Original Message - From: Wolfgang Baumgartner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 30, 1999 2:36 PM Subject: Quotas and qmail: file number Is there a patch to qmail, with which I can send a permanent error instead of a temporary error when the number of files in the Mailbox exceeds the allowed number of files (quota).

Re: Quotas and qmail: file number
If you are using the original version of my patch there is an open() call whose return status isn't checked for quota. I have an updated patch available. Let me know if you'd like diffs against the original (virgin) qmail source files, or a patch to the patch and I'll send it on to you. -- Jeff Hayward On Thu, 30 Dec 1999, Wolfgang Baumgartner wrote: Is there a patch to qmail, with which I can send a permanent error instead of a temporary error when the number of files in the Mailbox exceeds the allowed number of files (quota).

Qmail will stop writing to the disk when it hits the limit, and will eventually reject the message once the sender stops spewing. But still, you're gonna get the whole thing. -- Sam

But the result may be not what you want. It won't prevent accepting many smaller messages (each below databytes). If a user exceeds his quota, new messages won't be appended to his mailbox (or maildir) but will be filling the spool, making the situation even worse. One of the solutions is using the script named mailquotacheck, mentioned at www.qmail.org, available from http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/mailquotacheck/ Though it's only effective when a user can't edit his .qmail, i.e. usually on mail servers without "shell accounts". -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.

Re: Quotas
Yes, control/databytes, if present, is the maximum message size which the qmail-smtpd program will accept. Set it at least as large as your largest user quota. See 'man qmail-smtpd' for details. -- Jeff On Thu, 12 Aug 1999, Dimitri SZAJMAN wrote: At 07:42 12/08/99 -0500, you wrote: On Thu, 12 Aug 1999, Sam wrote: - If the mail received is like 15 Mb, it will be denied.

Re: Quotas
Thank you Mr. Moderator. Jeff, thank you for pointing that out. The issue of such a mailbomb is a piece of information an overworked admin installing qmail for the first time might not consider.
