I thought you might be using mbox...so...will filesystem quotas do it for you then? If it will, just enable filesystem quotas and the system will start limiting how large the mbox files can get. man edquota, quota, ...
Thanks for your info. quota RPM has been instaled by the default instalation.
Pls see below.
[root@mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep quota quota-3.12-5
I will have to edit /etc/fstab . I will have to add usrquota,grpquota
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
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
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
