[vchkpw] mail quotas
Is there a command to force vpopmail to recalculate the maildirsize. We see a few cases where it is out of sync with the actual bytes and message count. Also, we see a few accounts that are over quota still are accepting mail - especially dictionary attack spams. Can the system enforce strict quotas and just not accept any mail when over quota. We had a account go over 997MB due to dictionary attacks and they had set the account as the default. TIA Best Regards, Jeff Koch,
Re: [vchkpw] mail quotas
here's my two cents on this issue... maildirsize will not reset unless you use courier pop3d or qmail-pop3d with maildir++ patch. Otherwise peoples quotas will fill up and never go down unless you run a cron to remove maildirsize for every user. - Original Message - From: Jeff Koch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 3:37 PM Subject: [vchkpw] mail quotas Is there a command to force vpopmail to recalculate the maildirsize.

To force a maildirsize recalculation, just delete the maildirsize file. I have a new vdelivermail in a read-to-release 5.4.12 that I need to upload to SourceForge. I still consider it somewhat beta, but 5.4.12's vdelivermail might be more reliable than 5.4.10 (the last release before my re-write). -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

Just FYI, I've been running 5.4.12 since Tom had me test the new changes. I've had no problems with it (yet) and I've stressed it quite a bit in testing. Regards, Rick
Re: [vchkpw] mail quotas
We use Bill Shupp's Toaster with qmail, vpopmail and qmailadmin. You're saying quotas won't work with this combination and just vpopmail installed?
