Here is th output of vuserinfo:
--- START ---
[root@roam bin]# ./vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
name:   doods
passwd: jGmMGewAAEIwk
clear passwd: 
uid:    1
gid:    0
        all services available
name:      ECJ
dir:       /var/vpopmail/domains/globenet.ph/doods
quota:     3000000
--- END ---
I indeed set it a 3MB.

A 1k allowance is fine by me.

I sent a message 1.5MB big and it went through. After a while, I agaiin
sent a message with the same size and just the same, it went through.
Is there a checklist fot the quota to effectively work? Am I missing
something here?

Thanks a lot!
