We have a new server with the latest version of DirectAdmin installed. Every night the servers sends emails to all our shared hosting customers that they have used up all of their disk space.

We allow overselling, and we would like to prevent these messages.
I have checked the entire controlpanel and looked at the user.conf files.
In the controlpanel I cannot find the setting and in the user.conf the setting:
sentwarning=no

In my opinion the server should not send these emails to our customers. But it does, so please advice/help where to look for the problem.

All our other DA server don´t have this problem (about 10 more)
 
Maybe im totally wrong but overselling doenst mean put a limit higher then avalaible???

AFAIK the message come just when a single user go up of his space... So, if a user use 101mb and limit is 100mb is absolutly normal that he send email.
 
As I can recollect,

Code: 
sentwarning=no

does not forbid sending such a notification. That shows, that a warning was not sent yet.
 
Disable those message

I know the messages are valid because the domain used up the space, but I would like to disable those messages.

How can I do that?
 
thanks, I tried Google, but probably used the wrong keywords.

But now i've entered the setting in de directadmin.conf and still my customer receive those irritating emails.

Is this a bug?
 
sorry to say that I did restart directadmin and it says:

/home/admin# /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin c | grep send_usage_message
send_usage_message=0

And still my customer receive that annoying email every morning.

Hope some one can help, or maybe it is a bug?
 
In what design does he get the message? By default warnings are send once per month, if I'm not mistaken.

Examine your directadmin logs, in order to find any write errors into a file user.conf

And what do you have in

Code: 
grep sentwarning /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/<USERNAME_HERE>/user.conf
