[cpx] RE: [vps2] Disk upgrades & ten years after

["Brian Haines" <providertalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to jump in here and make a few comments and ask a few
questions.

First, I have clients that almost reach their quota and new messages get
bounced, but the user can't fix it at that point because CPX won't let them
clear the Junk and Trash folders. I have duplicated this and what I end up
doing is deleting 1 or 2 messages at a time from Junk and then Trash until I
free up enough space to do 3 or 4 at a time and then a page at a time.

I am using archmbox, but it can still happen if the Inbox grows near quota
and there is anything at all in Junk and Quarantine.

I have another client that will sometimes get a 10.02 or 10.06 MB file in
their inbox as a Delivery Status Notification which I assume is something
they tried to send that bounced back. No matter how much I try to impress
that they shouldn't send 10 MB attachments they don't consult size when they
send.

The real problem is that the mailbox is not near quota, but Outlook can't
open the mailbox. I have to use pine to delete the 10+ MB message. Before
the user can use Outlook again to retrieve their mail. CPX access to mail is
not interrupted, but can't be used to delete the message for some strange
reason.

Any thoughts about this would be helpful.

I just realized that this is more appropriate for the CPX list and have
decided to send there...

I have had email boxes much larger than this on v1 and v2. If you use
regular email protocols like imap and pop to retrieve your messages, I don't
think you have a problem with larger email boxes on vps.

It is when you want to use a web server to parse your email box (such as
twig, imanager, cpx, etc) is when you will get into trouble...

Yes, but take care of what exactly?
I'm not sure what the above is about?
