It is used from the file *only* if you use maildrop. If you use vpopmail the info is stored either in the password file or the database. <snip> > SO: Would anyone be opposed to moving the 'domain' quota out of the qmailadmin limits file (I'm assuming it's stored there since > Brian said it was) and into a separate 'domainquota' file? Yes. Many people use other tools in addition to qmailadmin that manipulate the database directly to control these things. I know I'm not alone. There have been several other posts by others using the database that manipulate the db directly. Doing this would require *another* file to be opened and maintained by the admin tools and again puts a "limit" into the control of the end user. I use the limits from the db, and enforce them with system quotas. This is for both user quotas and domain quotas. Brian
