Hi, I have a Debian box as a pop3 server for some users at the Dept. The server has one scsi disk, with three main partitions (/ /home /other). This is a poor design, but was done some years ago, when I was just beginning with Linux. I have set quota for users in / and /home so I can prevent the spool area to hog all disk space with tons of messages with megs of attach. The problem is that when some user with a little more than the half of its quota tries to get e-mail via pop3, he/she gets a quota exceeded message, because the qpopper do a temporary copy of the mail file after it changes to the user/group of the user requesting the pop. My questions are: 1. Is this the only behavior or can I change this through some config file? 2. What you suggest to workaround this problem? 3. Is there some other pop server that behaves different?
