I got a question about quota.

Currently, there isn't any domain quota management into Modoboa.

The quota you define for a specific domain is just a default value that will apply to mailboxes. You can then define per-mailbox quota (the maximum allowed value is the one defined at domain level).

Do you think this way of doing things is interesting? Would it be better to implement a domain quota support, where you define a maximum value for each domain?

In this model, the sum of mailboxes quota should not exceed their domain's quota.

I don't think a domain quota is a useful feature. If only one recipient excells the quota all recipients will be affected. One's fault, everyones punishment.

The numnber of mailboxes might be a more useful feature. This complies with typical contracts where customers get "3 domains with 100 mailboxes".
In any case indicating the number of mailboxes, domains etc, and how that relates to contracted limits might be a useful feature to a) remind the customer and b) tell marketing to upsell the contract.

Ok, I didn't understand you were talking about limits. (I was thinking about mailboxes quota)

I was planning to add such a view but I don't know how/where to present it.
