Enable quota Postfix

Hi, i've Centos 5.5 x86_64 with Postfix 2.3.3 installed via yum, i want enable quotas but following many guides all refer to editing a file, / usr / src / redhat / SPECS / postfix.spec; I don't have this file, perhaps it would have had to install the rpm source postfix-2.3.3-2.src.rpm? In my case, how can I apply the patch without losing configurations?

Thanks

 

I've try to use postfix-2.3.3-2.src.rpm but it give a error:

Code:

ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR

This postfix.spec file may not work correctly.
It was built for rhel-4.0, while you are running rhel-5.0.

Please rebuild postfix.spec for your distribution by following the
instructions in postfix.spec.cf.

If this procedure does not allow you to produce a working package, please
let me know.

Where i can find postfix 2.3.3 src for Centos 5.5 or fix it?

Thanks

 

Take a look at chapter 5 on http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-centos-5.3-x86_64

 

Hi Falco,

the rmp link is broken...

 

http://mirror.de.leaseweb.net/centos/5.5/os/SRPMS/postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2.src.rpm

 

Thanks, should I remove the previous version (installed via YUM) before installing the Postfix rpm file?

 

I don't think this is necessary if you install the new src.rpm with the -Uvh switch:

Code:

rpm -Uvh postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2.src.rpm

 

My Postfix versione are more recent, i've remove and reinstall... now i've install the new rmp.
Now how can test the quota features?
I've store my mail user on /etc/passwd (create with useradd), for the quota i use edquota, can i set postfix for read this value and not mysql?

Thanks a lot!

 

I'm not sure if the quota patch works for system users because you can use normal system quota for them. I guess the patch is made to read quota values from a database.

 

if I send an email to over quota accout goes back a mail error (procmail error) it can't move a file into maildir forder, how can check the user quota and give a custom message?

 

I think my problem is like this:

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8197

In main.cf I've this line:

bounce_template_file = /etc/postfix/bounce.cf

If i send a message, the error is like this:

<>: can't create user output file.
Command output: procmail: Missing name procmail: Couldn't create
...

I would show a quota message, how can i do?
The server can check if a user has a nearly full box (90%) and automatically send an email notice to the user email address?

 

Procmail don't see if a user is over quota and when try to move the new email into Maildir folder it give a error; the return mail is correct but i want send to return-path emial a over quota message, not a procmail error...

 

Up...

I just do not see the real error message but customizing an e-mail message with a friendly text...
Know a script that monitors and send an email quota message?

Thanks
