Impacted versions

Modoboa: 1.14.0

Webserver: Nginx

Steps to reproduce

As Modoboa Global Admin:
Modoboa->Parameters->Limits:
Enable per-admin limits: Yes
Mailboxes: -1
Mailbox aliases: -1
Enable per-domain limits: Yes
Mailboxes: -1
Mailbox aliases: -1
Domains->->Edit->Resources:
Mailboxes: -1
Mailbox aliases: -1

As DomainAdmins user:
Identities->->Mail:
Try to add a 4th alias to the account. It will return: Mailbox aliases: limit reached with Update.

As Modoboa Global Admin (again):
Modoboa->Parameters->Limits:
Enable per-admin limits: Yes
Mailboxes: -1
Mailbox aliases: 99999
Enable per-domain limits: Yes
Mailboxes: -1
Mailbox aliases: 99999
Domains->->Edit->Resources:
Mailboxes: -1
Mailbox aliases: 99999

As DomainAdmins user:
Identities->->Mail:
Try to add a 4th alias to the account. It will return: Mailbox aliases: limit reached with Update.

Current behavior

Mailbox aliases: limit reached, on Update adding a 4th alias to a single mailbox account.

@erenfro Just one thing : changing default values won't affect existing domains or accounts. Have you checked the values actually defined for you domain admin before you make your tests?
