hello qmail users I'm from switzerland and I don't speak very well english. but i hope you understand me!
i build my qmail server with the instructions from http://ndhsoft.com/qmailtoaster.htm. Everything works fine since 1 month. even i added a domain, i gave the quotas in vqadmin for 5 MB (5242880 Bytes). and the vqadmin transfer it correctly to the .qmailadmin-limits file. in qmailadmin he shows me the correct quota to (5MB) / pop account. now I wonted to test my quotas and I have recognize that they won't work. I try to describe you step by step my problem: i made a new pop3 account. hi's quota is 5MB. no mails are in this mailbox. vuserinfo [mailadress] shows me 0% usage. that's correct! now i send a email with 2.5 MB. vuserinfo shows me 0% - that's not correct! now i set the quotas again with vsetuserquota 5242880 now, vuserinfo shows the correct quota usage ( 50%). now i sent a email again, for this with 4 MB attachement (qmail has now to block this mail. the destination mailbox is full then) but qmail accepts this message. vuserinfo shows 50% and he don't addet the new mail. if a run vsetuserquota again, he shows me a overfull mailbox with 140% quota usage. but i can reciev mor mails on this account. he don't block the mails! now I erased mails until I have 2.5 MB of mails in my mailbox. vuserinfo shows me 140% usage. if i run vsetuserquota again, he shows me correct 50% usage. strange, not? conclusio: qmail don't count up the quotas. he only count down when I erase messages. where are the quotas definied in qmail? i couldn't find any informations about these in the internet. can anybody help me? greets, chrigi hartmann
