To ensure that your quota counts are always accurate, you need to make sure that any applications that are involved in the adding/removing of messages are maildir++ compliant. Using a non maildir++ compliant POP3 daemon (such as the one that comes with qmail) is the most common cause for the quota system to falsely be reporting that a user has hit their quota limit. Bill Shupp has a patch for qmail that fixes both the qmail-pop3d and the qmail-local programs so that they become maildir++ compliant. You can download this patch from here : http://www.shupp.org/patches/qmail-maildir++.patch I would recommend that you then go and delete all your user's quota files (because they contain inaccurate counts). The quota files will be automatically recreated and will contain the correct totals next time a message is delivered. I have used this command in the past on my server to zap all the user's quota files : find /home/vpopmail/domains -name 'maildirsize' | xargs -i --verbose rm '{}' 2>&1> ANd some time i have one or two mails and got quota warn message, why and > the date it show in the header date field is very far behind the currrent > date.........why This is a limitation of the vpopmail quota warning system. The warning message does not contain any date field, which causes assorted weird results depending on the mail client that is used to read the message. A little more information about this is available in the archives here : http://bluedot.net/mail/archive/read.php?f=2&i=10854&t=10851 Hope that helps! Michael.
