I am currently using LDAP for authentication, but the problem is that if every webmail user has the same uid/gid how would I setup/monitor the disk space quota for each user. To my knowledge quota is setup for a userid. So either I letgo of quota support or reduce the maximum no. of user to 65000
Any solutions. Kapil Sethi System Administrator BharatConnect Ltd.
