Warn USER when mailbox nearly full

[8p-design]

Hi,
Is there a way for cpanel or exim to send a notification to the mail USER (not account main contact) that their inbox is 80% full or something?

... so they can clean up their inbox themselves....

Because it is getting a lot of management to follow up those.

thanks!

In the WHM under Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings, check that the following have values set:

Threshold percentage where a user's disk usage is considered to be in the "warn" state. (0 will disable this notification)

Threshold percentage where a mailbox's disk usage is considered to be in the "critical" state. (0 will disable this notification)

Threshold percentage where a mailbox's disk usage is considered to be in the "full" state. (0 will disable this notification)

Threshold percentage where a mailbox's disk usage is considered to be in the "warn" state. (0 will disable this notification)

Also, make sure the option to send the warnings is enabled (further down on the same screen):

Hi,
Use folowing php code

$un = "name@yourdomain.com";
$pw="password";
$mbox = imap_open("{mail.yourdomain.com:143/notls}",$un,$pw, OP_HALFOPEN) 
     or die("can't connect: " . imap_last_error()); 
  
$quota = imap_get_quotaroot($mbox, "INBOX"); 
if (is_array($quota)) { 
   $storage = $quota['STORAGE']; 
   $su=$storage['usage'];
   $sl=$storage['limit']/1024;
echo "<b>You are using $su KB of $sl MB</b>";

thanks garrettp, but this will send an email to the cpanel main contact. I want the email to be sent preemptively to the USER@domain.com
How can this be achieved?

Hi, Use folowing php code

thanks, but we don't have user names and password for all accounts on the server.

We wish to install this at the root and email each user that are over 80% of their quota or more. that way the user receives a notification in their mailbox and they can act. We could run this via CRON everyday or whatever.

Now the email is sent to the account contact, which brings the task to him to contact the end user and check their setting... this is getting counter productive.

Anyone has a script to check the quota and usage of ALL mailboxes on a server? thanks!

Mailbox usage warnings are sent to the user who's email box is nearing capacity. Disk space warnings are sent to the cPanel contact (and optionally the admin too).
