Hey, how do I set it up so all of the accounts I create on my dedicated server have a default email quota? Right now they all are set to 250MB by default, but I'd like to change that to 100MB as the default limit.

Hmmm, so nobody has any ideas then?
There is a way to do it, but it is not officially supported. It involves editing the html file in /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/mail that displays the default quota. You would then need to backup that file via /scripts/preupcp and restore it via /scripts/postupcp.

The problem with this method is when we implement support for custom default mail quotas, your backup/restore script will be constantly wiping out such support until you remove it. If you avoid the backup/restore procedure right now, then your modifications are erased on the next cPanel/WHM update.
