I've got this message when a user tries to retrieve his email even though he hasn't exceeded his quota yet. My guess is that when qpopper tries to create the .username.pop file in the mail directory the ownership of the file is set to the username, in effect the mail consumption of the user is doubled. So if the no. of bytes of this doubled mail exceeds the hard limit, qpopper returns the ff. quota error: -ERR Unable to copy mail spool file, quota exceeded (122) My insight is for qpopper not to set the ownership of .username.pop file to the user who tries to acess his email but to the root or to some user with no quota. Does anyone have any experience on this, esp. on how to solve this problem? -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
