As I understand it, XMail is checking to see the mailbox is already over quota before deciding whether or not to accept the new email. It does = not consider whether or not the new email will put the mailbox over. I have received some complaints from end users about this, because they expect = the mailbox quota to not allow the large messages that would put them over = their quota. We have seen some customers with 5MB quota that have received a = 30MB message. They were alarmed that the email server let that happen, and = they were upset because they could not quickly download or delete the = message. Since the message was larger than their 20MB webmail quota, the webmail would not let them delete it. In this case, the webmail was trying to = move the 30MB message to the trash folder within webmail and 30MB was larger = than the 20MB limit, so the webmail software did not allow the message to = move from the inbox to any folder (not even trash). I wish XMail has a = switch regarding quota enforcement, so it could be configured to not allow the large message into a mailbox if that message was going to push the = mailbox over its quota.

If you configure a mailbox with a size of, let's say, 1MB, and then send = a message to it of, let's say, 5MB, it is still accepted and the mailbox = has become... 6MB in size! Now, this seems to be unacceptable for some of = our users (LOL, they are scared that they would have to pay more for their hosting space I guess :p). So is there a way to alter this behavior? My clients cannot understand = that XMail works that way ;) Or if it can't be done with XMail itself, maybe with the new pre-data filters?! Has anybody come up with a solution to = this problem?
