Hi! Here's my setup:
- a potato box (sounds cool, doesn't it? :-) - exim delivers mail to /var/mail/<user> - qpopper is my POP3 server - there is a user quota for /var partition - /var/spool/pop is a symlink to /usr/local/pop - there is no user quota for /usr/local partition - all users use POP3 to fetch their mail - also, a few users do read mail via local MUAs, so disabling locking in qpopper is not possible The problem is that from time to time the following thing happens: - the size of a user's mailbox in blocks becomes equal to the user's quota on /var - because the user may not use any more blocks on that partition, qpopper is unable to create a lockfile (/var/mail/<user>.lock) and exits with -ERR maillock: cannot lock '/var/mail/foo': 1 - because of that the user is unable to fetch her mail How do you guys cope with that problem? The only solution I could come up with is switching to Maildir delivery, but might be painful... Maybe there's some solution I've overlooked?
