Hi,

We've moved from a Raq to a DA server but we forgot to check the suspend on limit section of the sites.

several users have exceeded their quota and are going waaaay over this limit.

When I check Suspend on limit, will the user be notified by the system or do we have to do this ourselves?
 
As far as I know an email is only sent when the system does it automatically. If you do it manually, you also have to send the email. (Or there might be a checkbox...)
 
I believe when you check Suspend on Limit that the next time DA checks (I think it happens nightly) the site will be suspended as it's overlimit.

I don't know if it sends an email or not, but since most clients probably give you an email address on their own domain most of them wouldn't get it anyway, and will end up contacting you when they can't reach their site or get their email anymore.

Does anyone know with certainty?

It could be possible if the e-mail is sent 5 minutes before it's suspended :confused:

Suspend on limit will be the one that will be checked (sentence correct? :) )
 
Another issue wich could be my fault or a little bug in DA.

When a user creates an e-mail address with unlimited usage... this bypasses the quota settings.

The site won't even get suspended.
 
That would seem to indicate that email disk usage is not being added since everything is limited by the master quota settings for the user.

And you have to make sure you have the suspend on overage checkbox checked...

Suspend on average??
I've only got: "Suspend at limit" option.
and that one is checked
 
John wrote "suspend on overage" not "average.

He meant suspend on limit.

yeah.. ok.. but the site won't get suspended on user e-mail data.

on one hand this is ok because the mail won't stop flowing. on the other hand, the users will misuse this feature..
 
*bump*
Still the same issue see the screenshot

max usage: 25
current usage: 84.3
nice..
I cannot change the main accounts mailquota settings to reflect it's max usage limit.

Hello,

Account suspensions and disk usages are *NOT* realted at all.
The only thing that suspends a User is bandwidth.
Disk usage is assumed to have a cap with the system quotas compiled into the kernel. You can type
Code: 
quota -v [b]username[/b]
to check the current quota and limit of that user. If he's over hit limit, then likely, the kernel does not support quotas hence it's not enforcing them.

We don't suspend on quotas because 1) the user would have no way to remove files if they're suspended
2) The system quotas are assumed to prevent the overusage of file (with the exception of database and files on non /home partitions).

Quota's are being enforced.

But when a user creates an email address for himself and set limit of that mailaccount to 0 the file will grow over the allowed site size.

Today another problem.. NDR kept coming into a user account. 2GB mail file while site quota is on 50MB.

I don't think this should be happening.
please comment
 
If you are using mbox with emails in /var/spool/virtual/domain.com/* and if /var is on a spererate partition than /home, then you can just add /var as an extra partition with this guide:

This way the system quotas will enforce the 50 meg limit on any partitions set there. (if you add /var, take note of the count_email_usage=2 option)
