hello, I m a new user of ISPConfig, rite now i m facing one problem 1. I have assigned total web space of 5 MB for a website, but when i try to assign 6 MB for a mailbox, the error message "The selected diskspace exceeds site's limits." appear. What is that problem... plz help me ...it's urgent.... Now what i want to do is... I want to have seperate space for mail box (ie. outside the web space) and assign 5 MB for each mailbox. So to do that... what i have to do.... i need step by step solution.... Thank you in advance... Krishol
You cannot assign more space to a mailbox than your web has. If you want to have 6 mailboxes with 5 MB each, then you need at least 30 MB of web space.
well, 1. can't i have seperate space for mail box??? 2. I have a minimum hosting package of 2 MB but if my client ask for the 5 MB mail box, then what i should do..??? 3. ok if i assign 20 MB for a web and i have 4 mail box, does it (mail box and web) shares the same space. Thank you
ya i already read it ... not only once, but more then 5 times but i can't understand actually what does it mean... may be my english is not too good... hahaha so can you please simplify that....another reason i dont have much more knowledge on unix thank you
well i think my qu. makes u to feel like boring. now can you tell me "can i configure what i have told" ie. mailquota outside the webspace and each mail quota is 5 MB. plz it's very urgent.. now can u please tell me....can i configure in that way or not..?? Thankx in advance
Yes. Prerequesites: 1) You must use mbox and not maildir mail storage format and a pop3 / imap daemon that supports mbox. 2) Linux sytem quota must be disabled for the /var partition or at least for /var/spool/mail If your System fullfills the prerequesites from 1), disable the maildir checkbox in ISPConfig under management > server > settings and you will be able to set web and mailquota independantly for each user account. Drawbacks: mbox format is not really scalabale and stable on accounts that receive many emails.
I want to do the same as krishol wants... If I disable /var quotas, who manages the email quota for the email?. Is the Mail Quota parameter inside ISPConfig enough to limit this mailspace for the user? or do I have to modify some configuration file by hand? Thanks
If you use mbox, you can set the mailbox quota in ISPConfig. The quota is controlled by a procmail recipe. You dont have to modify any config files, just disable maildir in ISPConfig under management > server > settings.
