@ Anonymous: Sorry, I forgot to mention that by "large" attachments I mean those of over 10 or 25MB. Some web based email providers such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo have such limits, so the success of sending/receiving larger messages depends on the MTAs involved in each case. My general impression is that messages up to 10MB pass without any problems.

Yes, it can be evaluated if it is more useful to send a notification before or after a message is rejected (or both). The main thing in my view is that Plesk mailbox users get notified.

Thank you for your contribution and your vote. Let's hope that Odin will realise this feature soon.

@ dave: if god had wished for man to be able to fly, he would have given him wings ;)

if smtp was not designed for large (that is...?) attachments, then it should not support them.

but it does. and peaople do use it. and it does not make problems if no other specific error occurs. and so, accompanying mechanisms should respect that fact. and i think, my proposal is more 'generic' than defining an arbitrary 'softlimit' and waiting until that softlimit has been overshot.

@ Anonymous: Quota rejection can indeed happen at any capacity. However, email architecture is not designed for large attachments (yet), so I would like Plesk to cover standard cases of average email message sizes. Mailbox owners / administrators should be empowered to make the choices on the configuration settings themselves, such as deactivate/reactivate notifications or modify the notification threshold.

i understand the primary urge for this feature. but the problem is: quota related jejection of a message can happen at any mailbox capacity occupancy / remaining capacity. it just depends on the size of the specific message itself.

so, i would rather suggest to notify the mailbox owner in each case of quota related rejection - if limited to a number, then at least once a day. the notification message could of course contain capacity occupancy details.

for security reasons, the message should NOT contain any hyperlink (e.g. to plesk). users should not get accustomed to click on links provided in unexpected and non-personal mails. such mails could too easily become spoofed to persuade recipients to download malware or to reveal smtp credentials to third party.....

pleaso also consider that this notification issue should currently not be too urgent anymore, since, as i was told (situation: plesk 12.5 on ubuntu 14.04 with dovecot), modern clients can communicate with the server about the quota/capacity, and display it 'in-app'. is this valid for pop3 too, or for imap only?

is plesk going to implement feature of "Customer email notification when mailbox quota exceeded"

i am surprised from 2/5 years this request is under review, people like us who are doing shared hosting business need this feature'

This feature is not special feature which required voting, it is standard feature which every mail server has

We are using Cpanel and Hosting Control has this feature

Please implement this, this would be really helpful.

yes, this would be a nice feature, requested by many of our customers!

Sorry, but whether you can accept the argument or not - we can only sort requests by amount of votes, not by amount of "please!" or "urgent!" comments.

Each user can allocate 1 to 3 of their votes for a request. The more people vote, the more votes they allocate in average - the higher would the rating be, the more attention request will receive.

I would not complain, but it's hard to accept this argument: there are a lot of started suggestions with fewer votes.

That's actually why we have voting here. While this request is very important to you guys, but there are 10 other requests with higher votes. Perhaps some of you even dedicated a share of your votes to those other requests as well.

Very urgent feature! Come Odin | Plesk, 2 years under review. Really?

Would really appreciate if the Plesk developers can dedicate some time into adding this feature :)

still urgent...

This is needed! but needs a bit more to it. in the event that a email account is set to unlimited the uses or domain owner need to get an email IF the one email account is running on and using the quota assigned to the sub.

soooo urgent!

This is certainly a very important feature. And yes: this is a standard function on all professional maintained mail servers as far as I know ... URGENT !!

At least a simple list of the affected mailboxes would be very helpful!

+1

Must have...
