Good Day All, I have an interesting problem which is frustrating my best efforts to solve. I have a seperate partition for /var/mail, upon which I have quotas enabled. User X is over their hard quota, but can still receive incoming email. Not only that, but user X can cat a small file (of a couple of dozen bytes) onto the end of the mailbox, no problems. However, using perl, vi etc user cannot append to their mailbox. I have checked quotas are enabled, and indeed, if user X trys to cat a large file onto the end of the mailbox (or use perl, vi etc to append) it presents an error about being over the quota. Anyone have any ideas? My design was to enable me to set a maximum quota for any given users incoming mail, but the sidetrack issue of being able to cat small files to the end of the box has me stumped. The user is over 3 times their soft quota, and 1.5 times their hard quota... Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I am not a novice at freebsd, but I guess there is something I am missing.....
