You can set quotas on the /var filesystem...though, with logs and other stuff there, I'd be more inclined to make /var/mail (actually /var/spool/mail) its own filesystem, and then set quotas on that. On the other side of that coin, I'm running Postfix instead of Sendmail...Postfix has an option in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file that can be used to control the maximum size of the main inbox, as well as the maximum size of emails that can be accepted/delivered. Those settings are: mailbox_size_limit = and message_size_limit = Hope these suggestions help. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
