Question MailBox Quota


Hi All

I am using sendmail-8.13 & procmail as an MDA. Now as our mail users are increasing I need to put up mailbox quota limit for every user. I have gone through the search engine but could not found any effective help to configure mailbox quota with sendmail & procmail.

Please help me, its very urgent...

Thanks in advance

Okay, you can setup quota's for that by switching to the dovecot delivery agent LDA http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail Then setup quota's in dovecot http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota

If you want to continue using procmail then follow this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@.../msg07233.html But i do not see why you would want to do that as with the LDA you can enable sieve then do the filtering procmail was doing using sieve.

Thanks for the help
I have gone through these documentation but still I am not able to configure it. I am using sasl with LDAP for authenticating users, so this doc has not explained clearly how to configure quotas on users from LDAP.

Hmm thats the option I had before but dude the problem is that I dont have a separate partition for /var now. So not possible to put user quotas on it.

I can also move user mailboxes to some where else but it could have been nice if I won't had to move the mailboxes of all users.
