quota implementation problem


i've a problem while implementing the quota, i have use the commands like this:

1. touch aquota.user
2. quota check -cm /
3. quotaon /
4. repquota -a
5.edquota -u jerry

quota was implemented successfully. i have the partition /boot, swap and / only
the problem was, when the disk quota is full the user can't send the email. even if the quota is
full (exceeding the hard limit) i want the user to use send email facility. please help me with
this. i use sendmail as an MTA

Unfortunately quota keys on the user's ID. If he owns the mail file then it is part of the quota.

The only solution are to have the user clean up his other files or to expand the quota limits you give him.
