Aye - but it's old and I'm worried about hardware failure and I never documented the original install so I'd be screwed if it failed or my old Debian install got hacked.. sigh > > If - as I suspect - your default opinion is that it's not postfix's > > task to manage disk quotas what is the recommended approach for > this? > > Dovecot has quotas built-in and other features such as per-user > filters that Postfix will not provide.
