I'm probably confused; I've never set quotas on a Linux server before. The
parts of the man page for quotacheck to which I was referring:
quotacheck expects each filesystem to be checked to have quota
files named aquota.user and aquota.group located at the root

You still don't get it. Running quotacheck is something
directories sticky will postpone all
deliveries.
IMHO, single-user mode, unmount filesystem, set up quotas, back to
multiuser mode is probably your best bet. Your odds of losing any mail
during this transaction are extremely low, unless the sending mail
servers are totally useless...

Is there a way for qmail to accept mail but not deliver it temporarily (to
local users)? I'd like to set quotas for the users' home directories and
according the documentation I read the filesystem can't have anything
writing to it while quotacheck is running. I'm running Linux-2.4.3-20

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.

Hi,
I have a few questions about quotas.
- I use qmail for POP account, so the mail of each user is in
/home/user/Mailbox. I would like to add a quota of like 10 Mb. How can I do
that. Is it easy ?
- If the mail received is like 15 Mb, it will be denied. But will it be
denied before being sent

Unless you set an incoming limit using control/databytes.

Nope. Your server will still dutifully receive every byte of a 30 megabyte
mailbomb. Qmail will stop writing to the disk when it hits the limit, and
will eventually reject the message
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.

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.

About a month ago I was thinking about various possible ways to implement
quotas on Maildir mailboxes without using filesystem-based quotas. In some
situations, like virtual domains, filesystem quotas will not work.
I've played with my original idea, and came up with a slightly different
way

We are contemplating implementing some pretty loose quota's, and
