[vchkpw] odd quota problem

[Paul Theodoropoulos]

this is strange. vpopmail 5.3.18, longtime stable installation.

i've run across a customer for whom the quota is just plain loopy, name 
obscured for privacy:

vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
name:  xxxxxxx
passwd: xxxxxxx
clear passwd: xxxxxxxx
uid:    0
gid:    0
        all services available
dir:       /u1/domains/xxxxxxxxconsulting.com/xxxxxxx
quota:     100000000S,5000C
usage:     49%
last auth: Fri Dec 19 19:42:19 2003
last auth ip: 299.49.89.69
seems just dandy. says cust using using about 50% of their 100meg quota 
(disk-speak megs, mind you).

but wait, look at this:

cd /u1/domains/xxxxxxxxconsulting.com/xxxxxxx
du -hs
178M
du -hs cur
134M
du -hs .sent-mail
44M
i've tried deleting the maildirsize file, no change. I'm not seeing this 
for other accounts.

thoughts? yes, i'm aware there are newer versions of vpopmail. i'm planning 
a major migration to new hardware, and upgraded vpopmail et al, after the 
new year. in the meantime, i'd like this customer to start getting the 'at 
or near quota' message, at bare minimum!
