Enable the counting of email disk usage

[dannygoh]

I hape updated my exim.conf and set the require options to 0. How do I know this is in working conditions?

option to disable/enable the counting of email disk usage

On most systems, the email files are either on a /var partition, or on the / partition. Users are either under /home,/usr or /. DA can handle these circumstances and is able to decide whether or not to include the disk usage of email in the totals. When the users are on / and the email is on /, then email will be counted by the system quotas, so DA won't count them. But if you have a different situation that DA can't handle, then you need the option to force the counting on or off. In the directadmin.conf a new option will be added:

count_email_usage=x

where x will be one of 0, 1 or 2. If 0 (default), DA will try and figure it out. If 1, then DA will count the usage no matter what. If 2, DA will not count the usage, no matter what.

I thought you set this in directadmin.conf?

If Directadmin reports quota usage of 10mb but the user has 2gb worth of email, then you know it's not working.

i'm too lazy to check individual domain for email. any other method?

Not that DirectAdmin is currently capable of doing. (unless it spits something out in the error logs upon failure).

If it's working for one it's more than likely working for all. You wouldn't normally check every users quota if you already knew 1 or 2 users was working properly would you? Well... at least I don't.
