Hello As the subject says, I have RTFM and searched newsgroups and have two questions about quotas on a FreeBSD 3.3 system: 1. I know the default mail.local doesn't respect quotas because it runs suid. I have seen people mention something about a "fix" for that coming out or already out but have not seen it. Is there a way to get mail.local to respect user quotas? I have already hacked it to deliver to user's home directories. I know you can use procmail or qmail to do this, but I have also heard that procmail is not to "good" to use for a FreeBSD system because it reads messages into memory and big messages can (maybe) crash a system (if you don't have an size limit on incoming email that is)? At least, that had apparently happened to an older system with procmail we had here. And I haven't had a chance to mess with qmail yet ;-) 2. Is there a way to send an email to users to let them know they are over (or close to over) their quota? I am going to be migrating some users from an old BSDI 2.0 machine over to this new FreeBSD box, and the quota system on the BSDI box would send emails out when someone was over. I know I can just write some sort of script that would run repquota and grep for those over, but wondered if there was a built in function for that.
