I know the default is now 50MB, however, a lot of my clients use IMAP, so the limit is hit in no time - I guess they do not understand what the "Email Quota" means or what IMAP actually does (keeps all mail). I keep seeing my mail queue fill up with "mail-box full" errors.

Is there, or could we have an extra directadmin.conf option so we can set the default for the quotas?
 
Hello Peter,

There's an option to control it: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1214

To our clients know that they are about to lose messages due overloaded mailboxes, we use two types of alerts:

1) EXIM warning, sent to the mailbox owner http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=157

2) An daily script that scans all server mailboxes over 80% and alerts the account administrator. It is in our plans to publish this script here on the forum soon.
