Domain quotas are broken.  Even if/when they do work, they add a lot of 
load to the system since vdelivermail has to look at all mailboxes for 
a domain to calculate the current quota used when delivering every 
message.  There's no concept of a master maildirsize file for the 
entire domain.

They have been broken since at least 5.4.0.  Probably broke somewhere 
in 5.3.  Maybe they never worked -- I don't use them so I don't know.

I also don't know much about domains owned by users other than 
vpopmail.  I had heard that there are various minor problems with doing 
so, but don't have details.  Using system quotas is probably the best 
policy, but the downside is that once over quota, vdelivermail won't 
even be able to deliver quota warnings.

[vchkpw] domain quota status?

[Lars E. D. Jensen]

Hi

I would like to know the status of domain quota. I've seen a little on the 
mailing list, but nothing complete.

I have recently had users not getting mail and bouncing mails saying that the 
quota was used up. Problem is that it wasn't used at all.

I'm using vpopmail 5.4.5.

In release 5.4.8 I've read that domain quota simply doesn't work at the 
moment. Is it working in 5.4.5?

Now what can I do? Do I need to recompile vpopmail to disable quota or is it 
enough to outcomment it in the .qmailadmin-limits file...?

The alternative is that I begin to use system quota.
'vadddomain -u  '

Is it enough that the system user is a member of vchkpw group?
Will the mail still get delivered? I don't want to break anything...
Can I read somewhere how system quota actually works with vpopmail, with the 
uid/gid stuff etc.?

Thanks in advance.
