I don't think so. Last time I tested, user or group quotas only work under the users home directory. So place the domain under the users home directory. You can use the -u username option to vadddomain to set up the domain under that users home directory. Ken

Or what else is "best practice"? I run qmail-smtpd as root but that was along time ago that it was setup. Nowadays only needed when there are legacy-users in /etc/passwd. IIRC. I'd probably try using the vpopmail user and group quotas myself if I was setting it up again. OK. cheers, Rainer

Place each domain under a different user and let the file system handle the quota. This is also helpful if you host the web site and email. Then you can impose an overall disk space quota per account. Ken Jones Hi, any doc or guidelines to do it? thanks.
