To Specify a Default User Quota

A default quota that applies to users who do not have individual quotas set can be done by Console or command line.

Steps

3. To specify a default user disk quota for the “Default user disk quota” field, select one of the following options:

   Unlimited. Select this option if you do not want to set a default disk quota.

   Size specification. Select this option if you want to restrict the default user disk quota to a specific size. In the field beside the button, type a number, and from the drop-down list, choose Kbytes or Mbytes.

4. To specify a message number quota, in the “Default user message quota” box, type a number.

5. Click Save.

6. Set the Mbytes attribute to -1 in the user entries that use the default message store quota.
