Hi all,

Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question ;-)

I am attempting to install quotas on our 2.1 installation which 
is running as a mail server - (bad idea?)

The problem is, there are about 10,000 users in the password 
file, and I want to set a default quota limit of about 2.5 meg 
per user.  I don't really feel like doing a separate quota for 
each user!

It seems to me that there must be a way to specify a default 
quota limit, but I can't find any documentation on this. Can 
someone please help me out?

as always, TIA
