    Hi,

    is it possible to setup mail quota completely independant from webspace quota?
    I want to allow a customer "usable size" mailboxes, but the webspace should be very limited... until now I didn't find an option to manage this :-(

    But even if this isn't possible - thank you for the best free server config software that I've seen so far ;)

    It is possible, but only in a special configuration:

    1) You must use mailbox and not maildir storage format with a pop3 / imap daemon that supports mailbox.
    2) Your /var or at least /var/spool/mail directory must have quota disabled.

    If you uncheck the "Maildir" checkbox in ISPConfig under management > server > settings > email, a new input field for a separate mailbox size will appear in the ISPConfig email user settings.

    The drawback is that mailbox is not as scalable as maildir format, but we have not found a reliable and fast procmail recipe for running quotas on maildir. If anyone has seen such a script, please post it :)

    Maybe I didn't clearly point out my problem ;)
    I know that it's possible to have separate mail and web quotas per user when using mbox...

    BUT:

    It does not seem to be possible to restrict these values separate per customer... there only exists a total quota field.

    No, that's not possible.
