We're trying to customize the emails users receive when (almost) exceeding the bandwith / disk quota limit for their account by using a custom template, the ones with a subject like:

User xxx has used up xxx% of their bandwidth and xxx% of their allocated disk space

- How can we manually generate these emails being sent out to test this? We've tried exceeding a users disk quota and running the Directadmin tally cron job manually but this doesn't seem to work.
- Is it possible to change the the bandwith usage / disk usage percentage threshold after which these mails are sent?
 
Thanks for the response. Regarding the second issue, should setting the 'sentwarning_quota=no' for a user exceeding his disk quota and running the tally generate a new warning email? Because this doesn't seem to be the case when testing. After running the tally, the 'sentwarning_quota' value is set to 'yes', but no email is being sent out.
 
I've provided links to the official DA pages. I don't use the features for myself and don't customize them currently.

Some time earlier I wrote a custom plugin to send warnings/alerts every day with cron, and it does not rely on the variables at all. The plugin is not available in public either for free or for a fee. There is no English support in it yet. If you might have interest in it, kindly drop me a message either through the site (not forums) in my signature or in Facebook.

If you are 100% sure the variables are not working on your server kindly consider opening a ticket with Directadmin support: https://tickets.directadmin.com

Hello,

It is user_warning_thresh_disk=95


- user_warning_thresh_disk variable for disk usage warning


Reset:

Code: 
sentwarning_bandwidth=no
sentwarning_inode=no
sentwarning_quota=no

in user.conf per needs for testing purposes to let new emails to be sent.

Can this be applied to specific values?
for example, I apply if the user reaches the 10GB disk limit, the user will get a notification
 
DirectAdmin does not support this as far as I know. You will need either use a custom solution utilizing API for this or suggest a feature request.
 
The plugin is currently abandon, it has not ever been much requested since the post. But it can be rewritten per your needs under a commercial service. Sorry don't have time to maintain it as a free solution.

I understand that, it will definitely take time to rewrite the script.
I think it's stable and can be bought
