Mailboxes quotas /Sendmail

[Samuel Martinez]

Hello everybody:
Can some one told me how can I put mailboxes quotas in Sendmail over Linux Redhat??
PLZ!!!
My H.D. is dying!!!

UNIX has filesystem quotas built in. Just set up quotas on the filesystem(s) that users' mailboxes are on.

check out the following manual:

I recommend you regularly monitor the mail.log and system log.

If a user hits quota, you want to know it so you can tell them to clean up. Otherwise mail could be bounced or the sendmail daemon could get unhappy.

Thanks guys this helped me out on a question I was going to ask. My sendmail daemon is manically depressed most of the time and I really needed to cap mailbox usage.
