One more note on this. vpopmail uses user quotas as specified in the vpopmail password entry, not the maildirsize file. courier and other maildir++ quota compliant code uses the quota as specified in the maildirsize file. So if you change the quota via qmailadmin or vpopmail utilities, it will update the quota in the password entry. This is what vpopmail uses to enforce the quota, not the one in maildirsize. If you just "remove" the maildirsize file, it will automatically be recreated (with the proper quota in it). So it may be worth a patch to update the utility that updates the quota to also remove the maildirsize file for that user. Brian
