Hi, This page will tell you how to do it: http://freebsd.peon.net/cgi-bin/tutorials.html.cgi?file=8 Have Fun... Ales ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Sandiford <sysop@interlinks.net> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, November 06, 1999 1:27 PM Subject: help with quotas and sendmail and procmail > Help : > > I am trying to install quotas on my FreeBSD mail server so that my users > can't have a mail file greater then 5 megs. I have set up quotas on my > system and I am postive that they are working on the /var drive.
