[cobalt-users] POP server?

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking at assigning quotas to individual users just for email, outside 
of the total quota for the domain.

Does anyone know the answers to these questions (save me endless research 
<wry grin>):

Does the RaQ currently count user quotas outside of the total domain quota, 
or are the user quotas counted against the total domain quota?

Does the RaQ use the standard quota programs employed by Red Hat Linux?

Does the RaQ use the default POP server that RedHat uses; the reason I ask 
is because this server rewrites the user's mailbox to a tempfile each time 
the user logs in.  And the temp file is owned by the user.  The problem of 
course is that the temp file is also owned by the user.  Give the user a 
5mb quota, and if he's got 2.6mb in mail and tries to download it, it 
doesn't work and most mail clients report a bad login, which gives you NO 
idea of the real problem (a lot of email problems can be traced to 
this).  The way to resolve this difficulty on MOST linux installations is 
to set up the /tmp directory on it's own partition, and not set up quota on 
that partition, but I think this kind of change is outside the realm of 
what a Cobalt RaQ should or would want to do.

If anyone has successfully gotten over this "hump", or has done any 
research on it at all, or even is interested in getting over it and has 
some ideas, please contact me on or offlist.

Thanks.

Jeff
