I have set up quotas on my system and I am postive that they are working on the /var drive. My problem is that since mail processing daemons (etc) are run by priveledged users, they will write to the mail file and exceed the quota. I read in one of the faqs on sendmail.org that if i use procmail i should be ok because procmail observers quotas. It tells me to look at the Mlocal line in my sendmail.cf which looks like this : Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qrmn9, S=10/30, R=20/40 T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=mail -d $u Obviously, there is no procmail in there so i have changed the line to this : Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qrmn9, S=10/30, R=20/40 T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=/usr/local/bin/procmail -d $u But it still doesn't work, the quotas still get exceeded. I'll be the first to admit that I am no genius when it comes to sendmail or procmail...in fact, i hadn't even heard of procmail until today. If anyone knows what can be done to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
