There is already domain limits from the qmailadmin-limits file/table. I don't believe in the concept of
sum(user limits) == domain limit Most users will need a small quota, however there are times when they'll need more just for a once in a blue time to get a large attachment through, but overall don't require a large quota. Making the postmaster rearrange quotas on a regular basis is not practical, especially when the quota extention is requested is typically too late. We already *have* a workable solution. Use system limits. For those that want domain limits compiled into vdelivermail, I already have it written in my 5.2 code. I just need to port it to the 5.3.16 code. The only change is to use the vget_limits() API. But due to performance, I believe 99% of the users should still use system quotas due to the heavy performance hit *on every message delivered*. I have over 700,000 messages delivered each day. I had to take out the extra hit on domain limits. System quotas work just fine, especially on systems with over a thousand domains.
