First off, thanks for the deluge of helpfull e-mail. I was stunned with the response I got from my first post to this group. As a refresher, I wanted to setup quotas on user's mail. 1) I needed a mail delivery agent that respected quotas. Apparently mail.local does not. I went with procmail. 2) I wasn't running 'quotacheck' after creating a new quota for an existing user (so it wasn't checking the files already in /var to see who owned them). In my case, I just did a 'quotacheck /var' (my /var/mail isn't it's own filesystem). 3) I needed to configure my pop daemon to put the temp .pop files in another filesystem. Otherwise, my user's couldn't retrieve their mail if the combination of the .pop file and their mail spool put them over their hard quota. I am using qpopper and apparently you can configure it to do this by ./configure --enable-temp-drop-dir=/somedir That was pretty much it. I did learn, however, than user's are only warned if they are over their soft quota upon login. Since, my user's never actually log onto the box, I am writing a script that does a 'repquota' and then mails generic letter explaining the situation. Again, thanks much!
