Setting Limits for your Virtual Domain

IndiMail comes with a program vlimit(1), which allows you to set global limits for your domain. Before using vlimit, you need to enable domain limits for a domain using vmoddomain(1).

% vmoddomain -l 1 example.com

Once you have done the above, you can start using vlimit for the domain example.com

% vlimit -s example.com
Domain Expiry Date : Never Expires
Password Expiry Date : Never Expires
Max Domain Quota : -1
Max Domain Messages : -1
Default User Quota : -1
Default User Messages: -1
Max Pop Accounts : -1
Max Aliases : -1
Max Forwards : -1
Max Autoresponders : -1
Max Mailinglists : -1
GID Flags:
Flags for non postmaster accounts:
pop account : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
alias : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
forward : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
autoresponder : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
mailinglist : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
mailinglist users : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
mailinglist moderators: ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
domain quota : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
default quota : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY

Using vlimit you can set various limits or defaults for a domain. One of my favourite use of vlimit is setting default quota for users created in a domain. The default quota compiled in IndiMail is 5Mb which is not good enough for today's users. So if you want to have a default quota of 50 Mb for your users when you add them using the vadduser(1) command -

% vlimit -q 52428800 example.com
% vlimit -s example.com
Domain Expiry Date : Never Expires
Password Expiry Date : Never Expires
Max Domain Quota : -1
Max Domain Messages : -1
Default User Quota : 52428800
Default User Messages: -1
Max Pop Accounts : -1
Max Aliases : -1
Max Forwards : -1
Max Autoresponders : -1
Max Mailinglists : -1
GID Flags:
Flags for non postmaster accounts:
pop account : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
alias : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
forward : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
autoresponder : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
mailinglist : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
mailinglist users : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
mailinglist moderators: ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
domain quota : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY ALLOW_DELETE
default quota : ALLOW_CREATE ALLOW_MODIFY


You can also implement domain level restrictions. To disable POP3 for all users in example.com

% vlimit -g p example.com
% vlimit -s example.com
Domain Expiry Date : Never Expires

I am getting following error when I run " /var/indimail/bin/vlimit -s domain.com"

where domain.com is my own domain

FROM vlimits WHERE domain = "domain.com": You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '\nFROM vlimits WHERE domain = 'domain.com'' at line 1

I have run following command before running above " /var/indimail/sbin/vmoddomain -l 1 domain.com"
