Default Quota when adding users

IndiMail has ability to configure various limits for a domain using the vlimit(1) program. You can set password expiry, default quota, allow only POP3 access and even have an expiry date for the domain.

One useful feature of setting domain limits is setting the default quota when adding users using the vaddduser(1) command.

To turn on domain limits for a domain, you need to run the vmodddomain(1) program

% /var/indimail/bin/vmoddomain -l 1 example.com

The compile time default for quota is 5 Mb which may not be what you want. If you want 50 Mb of quota to be assigned by default when adding users, here is what you need to do

% sudo /var/indimail/bin/vlimit -q 50000000 example.com

% sudo /var/indimail/bin/vadduser user01@example.com pass
