Help :
I am trying to install quotas on my FreeBSD mail server so that my users
can't have a mail file greater then 5 megs. 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.
Thanks
Bill
