qmail-iquota: a patch for qmail-ldap

Paul Dwerryhouse, paul@dwerryhouse.com.au, March 10th, 2003


This patch changes the operation of the quota code, so that it interprets the mailquota LDAP field in the same way that Iplanet Messaging Server does. That is, a single number given by itself (without an 'S' or a 'C') is the mailquota in bytes, not kilobytes.

The patch: is here Current version is qmail-iquota-1.03-20030301-20030310. It is to be patched against qmail 1.03 and qmail-ldap 20030301
