The files are still owned by the group, so they can't use more than the
maximum you've allowed for the site, less whatever users are using.  And
the site is independent of any admin user's quota, so none of us will
make the mistake again of giving the site 200 megabytes, the users 20
and wondering why the site is limited to 20.

The limitation is there's no way to keep the site from using so much
space that the users don't have enough to store their email.

I'm waiting for the package version <smile>.  Not only for myself but
for clients as well, I want it as easy as possible.

Not to say I won't volunteer to help in the group effort...

I'm presuming we can do that in srm.conf, as pkgmaster does with
neomail.  Have you looked at that?  It's a better choice imho, because
the gui doesn't seem to mess with srm.conf.

Perhaps I can write the manual, or design the gui screens if you're
going to give it a gui.  Those are my skills that can best be used in
this project.
