View 1 RepliesI am using sendmail-8.13 & procmail as an MDA. Now as our mail users are increasing I need to put up mailbox quota limit for every user. I have gone through the search engine but could not found any effective help to configure mailbox quota with sendmail & procmail.
View 7 Replies View RelatedRunning a server using CentOS 5.5 (yum updated, x86_64), found that when using /usr/sbin/useradd to create system user, the quota for the user will default set to 5M soft and 10M hard (on /var/spool/mail partition). As remember the default setting for user quota should be both zero when create a new user.
man useradd and quota related command and no help, had any idea how to change/set the default quota when create user.
We have quota system in home directory and there is binary aquota.user file.

I am writing a php script and I need to find the total diskspace of a directory. I have used space already. I have a couple of different users with quotas
Code:
$path = "/home/" . ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
$used = exec("du -c -a $path");
echo $used;
Will give me the disk space used. But I need total quota for that user.
i am using linux redHat 5 and fedora9 How can assgin disk space quota to particular user suppose i have 4 users
user1
user2
user3
user4
All four users have a each folder
/data/folder1
/data/folder2
/data/folder3
/data/folder4
i want to assign space limit/restriction of 100MB on each on folder.
We are using Red Hat Enterprise AS 3.0. There are 100+ users connected to a single server. As the Inbox size of Mail Client (Thunderbird) for each user grows there are space constraint on the server. So I want to define a quota on mail folder for each user (say around 500 MB to 1 GB). How can I do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a mail script that has been running on my website for several years. One problem I had with the script was when a bad address was put in, the mail was rejected to the server rather than to the sender. I have now recently added a fifth parameter to the mail script using the -f sendmail option to set the return path.
PHP Code:
$mailsend=mail("$email","$subject","$emess","$ehead","-f$adminEmail");
The PHP manual says this:
Quote:
The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set using this method. For sendmail users, this file is /etc/mail/trusted-users. I do have the 'X-Warning' header on e-mails sent with this script and have asked my server administrator for some help in adding "the user that the Web server runs as" as a trusted user.
I want to display users quota in human readable format, so if the size is over 1 GB I want the quotas displayed in GBs
So when I issue the command below should I not get the results in GB ?
Code: Select allrepquota -sa
bob -- 87200M 400G 440G 879 0 0
dave -- 255G 400G 440G 3627 0 0
jim -- 10664M 400G 440G 230 0 0
tom -- 10737M 400G 440G 636 0 0
User bobs usage is 86GB, should 86GB not be displayed rather than 87200M?

send mail is configured in the system so that it can communicate with mail server.
I am using webmin for my daily tasks. I have fedora 13, whenever I click on ''Sendmail M4 Configuration'' or Outgoing Addresses (generics)'' I get the following error message
Quote:
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect. I read documentation at sendmail.org, it seems that structure of directories for send mail has been changed in version sendmail-8.1.4 shipped with FC13. In webmin config module we have
Quote:
Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf
which is not there. I did a locate / sendmail-cf on the command line, it finds nothing
I recently modified sendmail.cf to use a third party SMTP server to send emails. It works great. But when I run sendmail from the command line, I have to specify the -C flag and force feed it the location of my sendmail.cf, or else it doesn't work.
So in other words, the following works great:
However, if I don't specify the -C flag, sendmail doesn't consider what's in the sendmail.cf and barfs:
I don't run sendmail as a daemon. I'm only using it to send emails. I know my modifications of sendmail.cf are correct because it works perfectly when I use the -C flag. I searched my disk to see if I could find another sendmail.cf on the machine and only the one in /etc/mail came up.
Why sendmail is not reading my sendmail.cf?
I'm running Sendmail version 8.14.2 on Fedora Core 8.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to implement quota per group users like this: Assume i have a Student group in my system, that student1 and student2 and student3 are three users in this group. i want to set quota 100GB per each user in this group, 100GB for student1, 100GB for student2 and .... The problem is when i set quota per group i cant say each user in that group have 100GB quota limit, also when i set quota per user, i should set one by one for each user.I want to know, is there anyway for set quota for all users in specific group?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Diskquota on CentOS 5.1 machine. I enabled quota for some user with 1 GB as both hard and soft limits, Grace period is 0. Every this is working fine if we work from normal user's login say (user1 who is a system user). If he exceeds 1GB its will restrict that saying quota exceeded. But, If root user copies some 500MB files into his workspace, and change the ownership of those files using following command
chown user1.user1 * ( * is 500 MB files).
Then quota is exceeded and it is showed using:
repquota /home
user1 +- 2039960 997020 997020 none 298 0 0
Here its showing as some 2GB.
Soft limit is 951 MB.
So, my problem is restrict quota from all possible ways, i.e., even if root does some copying and change permissions, it must tell that disc quota exceeded.
In our organization there are around 1000+ users are using mails. The mailing system is implemented under RHEL using postfix and dovecot. For user based quotas i have implemented Disk Quota. But the problem when i want to edit quota for multiple users with similar limits i'm doing "edquota user" for every users. It seems very difficult. Now I wanna know:
1. Is there any way to edit quota value for multiple users at a single shot?
2. Also there is any method to send alerts mail to the end users on disk utilization?
I have sendmail running in system,i want to send mail to other accounts like gmail,yahoo using this sendmail.What should i do ?
