The solution you can use right now (at this very moment) is create another user in the system, and install vpopmail as that user (ie: re-installing vpopmail, but as an different user). This will make vpopmail use yet another UID/GID and you can happely set a system quota on that user. Ofcourse the drawback with that is you use more diskspace for the binary (small price IMHO) and you have a setup that is a little harder to maintain. The future solution is that some of the programs (like vadddomain/vdeldomain etc) run as root (SUID root to be sure, even if I am against SUID programs). That way the vadddomain program could allow yet another parameter: username or UID of the domain. In this case you could have up to 64k domains with induvidual domain quota that is controlled by your OS - and therefor _should_ be less heavy on the vdeliver program. Ken, please let me know if this is something you will add to the code so I can make my GlobalAdmin make use of it as well.
