iminitquota

The iminitquota utility reinitializes the quota limit from the specified user's LDAP directory entry and recalculates the total amount of disk space that is being used by the specified user. It updates the file quota under the user's Adm directory in the Message Store. This file will be read by the delivery agent when trying to determine if a certain user is over-quota.

iminitquota must be run as the message store owner as specified in the ims.cnf file. The default owner should be set to inetmail.

---

Note - When the -a option is specified, iminitquota uses the MTA.hostname value specified in the /etc/opt/SUNWmail/admin/adminserver.properties configuration file as the mailHost attribute to search for local message store users in the LDAP directory.

Syntax

iminitquota [-l config_file_location] -a | -u username

The options for this command are:

-a	Initializes and updates the user quota files for every message store user on the server. You must specify either the -a or -u option.
-l config_file_location	Location of Message Access Services configuration file (ims.cnf). If the -l option is not specified, the default location (/etc/opt/SUNWmail/ims/) will be used.
-u username	Reinitialize the quota -elated information for this user. You must specify either the -a or -u option.
