Re: Disk quotas on INBOXes

Our user e-mail INBOXes are sitting in /var/mail/[user]. Does
anyone know of a way for me to institute per-user quota on their
INBOXes? See our problem is that while I can apply user-quotas on
/home/[user], that doesn't take into account what's on /var/mail/[user]
... and some users are leaving their e-mail sitting in their INBOX
because they don't want to eat up their user quota. So, I want to limit
the size of their INBOX file as well, through quotas.
Possible?
You can set quotas on the /var filesystem...though, with logs and other
stuff there, I'd be more inclined to make /var/mail (actually
/var/spool/mail) its own filesystem, and then set quotas on that.
On the other side of that coin, I'm running Postfix instead of
Sendmail...Postfix has an option in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file that can
be used to control the maximum size of the main inbox, as well as the
maximum size of emails that can be accepted/delivered.
Those settings are:
mailbox_size_limit =
and
message_size_limit =
Hope these suggestions help.
