i have installed openwebmail and that puts a folders in the users home directory so that they can make a address book, save old mail, calender, mail filters, and more
well all this stuff can take up alot of space when i am having about 125 users using this and alot of people will not delete anything.

well i guess what i am getting to is there a way that i can put a limit on everyones home directory /usr/home/usersname
say 20mb for some and put no limit for others

i am running this under freebsd 4.6 with sendmail and apache


thanks alot
Ben (new to freebsd)
