Wietse Venema does not believe in soft quotas, and I believe he has a point. The Maildir++ quota support requires a somewhat complicated update protocol, and is effectively on a voluntary basis. What are the reasons against soft quotas?
Consider using hard quotas instead. Am I correct in thinking that soft quotas==quotas imposed by software such as maildrop, while hard quotas==quotas imposed on the user by the kernel? If so, then this is problematic, since all the users are virtual, and none have a shell account to impose a quota upon. :Peter
