Hi,
Thanks once again,
ONE MORE THING IS NEEDED.
I want to limit mail sizes for both incoming and outgoing mails.
Let's say
userx@example.com can send mails up to 5MB, but can receive up to 2MB
usery@example.com can send and receive mails up to 5MB.
All the other users can send mails as usual (i.e - without restrictions)
Can procmail do it? (i-e- /etc/procmailrc - system wide configuration)
pls let me know?

I will have to edit /etc/fstab . I will have to add usrquota,grpquota
Good research.
Now, my question is to which partition should I have to add usrquota,grpquota.
Is it to /var partion should I have to add quota as All incoming mail will be stored as /var/spool/mail/username
According to your list of filesystems below, yes, /var definitely needs quota turned on.
or
Is it to /home partion should I have to add quota as All users are system users ( i.e- /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group
Only if you intend to lump both mailbox quota and home directory quota together. If you need to enable separate quotas for these...you need another solution. If you do not need quotas for anything but mail, just turn on quotas for /var.
to create account I use traditional useradd command as follows. useradd username
my partion table of the hard disk is as follows. /var and /home partion are marked in BOLD letters. pls see below
[root@mailgw ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 39G 1.6G 35G 5% / /dev/sda1 2.9G 53M 2.7G 2% /boot none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda5 39G 201M 37G 1% /home /dev/sda7 6.8G 2.4G 4.1G 38% /opt /dev/sda6 6.8G 48M 6.4G 1% /tmp /dev/sda8 52G 1.4G 48G 3% /var
