Hi Folks, finally I managed to run a receiving sendmail with a dyndns-Domain (using defaults and webmin helps fine *g-*) No my prob: The last german LAN-Line contained a mailserver-test-suite, which i ran. While running the tests the suite sends tons of mails and my mailbox has been overflown (about 49 megs!). Fetching mails of the tested account wasn't possible anymore Server-answer: Unable to copy mail spool file to temp dropbox /var/mail/.gschiffer.pop: No space left on device (28) I killed all the files which are connencted with the account and touched /var/spool/mail/gschiffer. It works again samba:/var/spool/mail # df -h /var/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdc2 164M 78M 86M 48% /var samba:/var/spool/mail # Has anyone of you an idea about the default mailbox-size and how I can fix to e.g. 10 megs and how I can prevent mailbombing on certain accounts? Thx for tipps CU Guido

Ich würde empfehlen, für alle Mailboxnutzer quota zu aktivieren. Siehe /usr/share/doc/packages/quota/README.SuSE Tschüss, Hatto

Hi! The problem is I cannot activate quotas due to activating does not run on that funky ext3! How do I get quotas working on system with ext3? Kernelpatch? Why I run ext3? It is more reliable than the damn reiserfs SuSE installs by default (why not ext2 or ext3 shy?). Several servercrashes were enough to understanding which is the better filesystem. With ext3 I had no problems even with several times not unmounted fs because of powerdowns or some bad admin drawing the false plug ... electricians appearing and powering down the rooms ... :-) Philippe
