Hi,

just ran out of disk space because of bandwidth.tally file which was located in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username. The file was 15 GB in size. How is this possible?
 
No, i havent. How is bandwith.tally possible to grow 15 GB in size?
 
To answer the question somebody should examine your bandwith.tally to make sure, that it is not broken and contains valid and actual data.
 
This is what was in:

1669=type=email&[email protected]&method=outgoing&id=1SzawN-0005jK-Pj&[email protected]&sender_host_address=113.118.13.187&log_time=1344550260&path=/root
1669=type=email&[email protected]&method=outgoing&id=1SzawN-0005jK-Pj&[email protected]&sender_host_address=113.118.13.187&log_time=1344550260&path=/root
1669=type=email&[email protected]&method=outgoing&id=1SzawN-0005jK-Pj&[email protected]&sender_host_address=113.118.13.187&log_time=1344550261&path=/root
1669=type=email&[email protected]&method=outgoing&id=1SzawN-0005jK-Pj&[email protected]&sender_host_address=113.118.13.187&log_time=1344550262&path=/root

Ofcourse domain.si is replaced from the actual domain. And there are multiple different IP addresses. It seems like some attack. Now the file was 5.9 gb in size.

Is it possible to disable bandwith logs for all customers? Or somehow prevent this. It seems a legit log just someone abusing/attacking us and making it huge.
 
Hmm, I guess it's possible to disable counting in exim.pl (see sub log_email section in /etc/exim.pl). But why? You might need to tune your exim.conf and stop abusing of your mail server in order to prevent it in future.
