Limiting POP box sizes

[Richie]

I just recently signed up with FQ and so far everything's running great.[nbsp][nbsp]I love the CNC, although I'm surprised that there doesn't appear to be an option to limit the filesize of the pop mailboxes (or the shell mail account)?

Am I missing something or if not, is this feature planned in the future?[nbsp][nbsp]Putting limits on mailboxes is certainly very helpful in any number of ways.[nbsp][nbsp]It's easier to get someone to fix their "leave message on server" setting when they start getting informed that incoming mail is bouncing because their mailbox is full.[nbsp][nbsp]Not to mention if a box gets maliciously 'mailbombed,' then imposing a limit beforehand prevents other mailboxes or the website suffering because of that.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Currently, individual messages have a max limit of 5Mb (raw email message)...

In our current POP storage incarnation, the option to limit per POP box is not viable...[nbsp][nbsp]However, it is on the drawing board for the POP Toasters as the range of functionality will increase...[nbsp][nbsp]What remains to be seen is how well this will scale as a 'size check' will have to be done for every delivered email to ensure the delivery would not go over your set limit...[nbsp][nbsp]That, in a nutshell, is the tricky part of it all and is one of the several reasons POP Toasters are still in active development weighing all of the odds...
