I was wondering if any one knew of an application to do quota editing (on 2.4.x kernels) from the command line the 'quotatool' package under debian only seems to work for the old 2.2.x style quota.user files and not the aquota.user files that 2.4.x uses.
Any ideas welcome :)
Hi,
RedHat and most UNIX platforms use the following commands:-
edquota : to manage quotas. quota : to view quota usage by user or group. quotacheck : to re-calculate and check quota information. quotaon : to enable quotas on a volume
quotactl : a lib. hook to manipulate quotas in programs.
More information is available usint man quota and looking at the list of associated progarms at the end of the man page.

RedHat and most UNIX platforms use the following commands:-
edquota : to manage quotas.
edquota just spawns an ASCII file, which is hardly command line. There is no way to specifiy command line options such as a soft block of 30000 lets say from what i can see, do you know something diffrent?
quota : to view quota usage by user or group. quotacheck : to re-calculate and check quota information. quotaon : to enable quotas on a volume

James,
main@lists.blackcatnetworks.co.uk??
Which part of
====================== main@lists.alug.org.uk ======================
do you not understand?
The email address for the ALUG list is NOT: main@lists.blackcatnetworks.co.uk
... it is: main@lists.alug.org.uk
Please update your address book accordingly. Once again, that's:
main@lists.alug.org.uk
So please stop sending to the incorrect address.
One last time. Send your ALUG email to:
====================== main@lists.alug.org.uk ======================
Ok?
Oh, and if someone could actually BLOCK the totally wrong main@lists.blackcatnetworks.co.uk address, that would be great, thanks. Any time in the last couple of weeks would be good, before it propagates any further.

We're trying, but that seems to have been what triggered the last breakage. It wouldn't have caught this case, as there was a little "moderator oversight" and it was approved anyway. As ever, we recommend you filter on the List-Id if you can.

Filtering is not the issue, propagating an incorrect address is. I'd hate to think of people emailing the list in 6 months' time only to find their email is rejected ;-)

I'm still confused as to how anyone's managed to pick up the blackcatnetworks address; AFAICT it doesn't appear in the headers anywhere, it's not used in the sender envelope and it's not publicised anywhere. I'm obviously wrong about one of these though, either that or Outlook is even more brain damaged that I can possibly comprehend.

Something is doing a double-lookup to resolve the name, perhaps. I doubt that, as I don't think lists had its own IP before. Other possibility is incorrect details in the subscription info. Can a recent subscriber confirm or deny that, please?
Can we block main@anyotherdomain at the MTA on that computer, please? My first suggestions would be to either use header filters or virtual-host alias files.
Thanks,

lists.alug.org.uk hasn't had it's own IP address before? I don't believe my configuration was any different to Jonathan's. It doesn't have it's own IP address now - look:-
lists.alug.org.uk is an alias for lists.blackcatnetworks.co.uk. lists.blackcatnetworks.co.uk has address 212.135.138.137 and 212.135.138.137 resolves to terry.blackcatnetworks.co.uk.

I would seriously consider trying Mailman 2.1. Despite being a beta, it is considered to be stable and it has *proper* per domain virtual hosting (hooray!) which 2.0.11 and below doesn't do that well.

Valid suggestions, except for the fact that the mailman config is tied up to the Exim config so it doesn't go via header filters or virtual-host alias files.

Hmmm. That would be good, but it's not exactly something that I'd be happy rolling out without testing and I'd much rather wait for it to be stable. Improved virtual domain support would be great though; I'll have to go and take a look.

Douglas was using "Ximian Evolution 1.0.3 (1.0.3-6)" so it's not clear that Outlook has anything to do with it.

I remain to be convinced.
This line appears in the raw mail file in my mail directory:

so I assume Ishmail is just displaying it as is.

It sounds as though your mailsystem that is receiving the mail is doing something weird to the headers then. I don't know if this is the ISP who is hosting your domain or something that happens when you download the mail.
Although perhaps if Jonathan would check the logs to make sure that there is nothing weird going on when the mail leaves his server just to be on the safe side.

Oh dear. Don't tell me fetchmail is looking up the address, finding the CNAME and rewriting the address to be that which the CNAME points to?
I can change it over to an A, but that's just horrible behaviour.

I use fetchmail for receiving mail, and it doesn't do anything nasty to me. When I did reply to this message, it put the correct address in the To line.
Did have a problem with fetchmail and multidrop mailboxes, but I've read the friendly manual and sorted that one now :-)

Ah, I should have read the rest of the thread before sending my previous comment l-) Perhaps the 'for' stuff is a red herring after all.
Mixing CNAMEs and mail delivery is IMO hopelessly optimistic, and rewriting based on CNAMEs has been happening in some places for years, on the basis of things like RFC1123 5.2.2. Just don't do it.
