Quoting lyd mc <alydiomc@yahoo.com>: > However, my company wants to have 20meg mbox space per user. If the > User exceeds, he/she should not recieved any mail. > > So, I use system quota to prevent sendmail from writing to mbox of a Let me suggest slightly different approaches: 1.- You could have /usr/ports/mail/mimedefang making the decisions instead of sendmail or system quota. There you can set your own rules and sendmail will abide them. This gives you far better control and you're limited by your own imagination. 2.- Implement a mail server with quota capabilities. For instance cyrus-imap. There you can set quota limits, warning messages to users, percentages and so on. This is the easiest approach. Regards, Mikhail. -- Mikhail Goriachev Webanoide
