Email Quotas

[Robmonster]

Morning all,

 

I have a question about how CPanel email quotas work.

 

I take it that all email is rejected if the quota gets reached.

 

Does the user get any message placed in their POP3 account when they are approaching capacity, or do they just wonder why they are not receiving any new emails?

You will get sent an email at 80% usage - as long as you have filled in the email acontact address in cpanel.

Hi Andy,

 

Thanks for your responses to all of my questions.

 

I dont think I made myself celar enough with this one though.

 

Say I create a POP3 login called Boris@**** and I assign that user a 50Mb quota.

 

When that users POP3 box hits 40Mb will they get sent an email telling them they are approaching their quota and to do something about it? Or, will it allow them to reach the 50Mb quota and then just drop any further incoming mails?

 

It's not something that directly affects me at the moment, but its something I'm considering implementing.

Hello, If you set up an email account with a 50MB quota, then that email user would be notified when its mailbox gets to the 80% full threshhold.

 

If they do not do anything about it and the mailbox fills up to 50MB then all additional email will bounce stating mailbox full.

Thanks,

 

I had misunderstood Andys answer. Sorry
