I finally got Cyrus Imap and Postfix 2 working on my system (running FreeBSD 4.8) I am running it on a 40gb drive, and in the setup I simply chose the default partitions (var and tmp are 256, usr is the majority of space) w/o realizing that the mailbox is stored in /var. So now I have a server that is running beutifully but can only hold 256mb. This is a problem, because I set it up for clients to send large file to me. The max attachment can be as large as 100mb. So my question is, can I simply link the users dir and actually store it on the /usr partition? In addition, in addition, a do have some questions on the server itself. I got it to work, but not sure exactly how it is setup. I set in the main.cf that the max_upload_size = 1
00mb, and I then was forced to set a max mailbox size. I set it to the same size, does that mean max mailbox size per user, or entirely? In addition, in 'cyradm', what is the proper way to completely delete a mailbox. I've already tried 'dm user.xxxx' xxx being the users name. I get a permission denied. I want to delete that accounts that arent used any longer. Aside, I'm attempting to write a front-end where a user can register to the server, and it will do all the actions required to have a working mailbox. I want to do it in PHP, but am having problems in the 'shell_exec' command.

I posted a bunch of problems, any input would be appreicated...just please refer to which question/problem you are answering!
