I set the quota to 100 MB
when it reach 100 MB and receive more new mail , it will get notification message so on and so on .

It can receive the very small size mail such as notifocation
but it still work with large mail.

I also have same problem.
I ever read, you need to set quota when the mailbox size is still below it’s quota, otherwise it is useless.
I tried to set quota 80 MB for a mailbox with size 50 MB.
after that, the mailbox size just increasing to 1 GB.
Surprisingly, the user is still happily sending and receiving email.
Also, another inconsistency:
sometimes user can archive and compact their mailbox when they are over quota. But some other are already get stuck, and I need to release their quota first, let them archive and compact, and then set the quota back.
I just begin to think that this is one of bug in R6.
For your case,
Maybe you want to consider using Quota enforcement
(Check from admin help with topic: Detecting when a mail file exceeds its quota).
And also from Configuration doc, Router/SMTP - Restrictions and Controls - Delivery Controls, set the quota controls.
HTH,
Ivan.

oh!! I forgot to tell you I also set this options to
Over quota notification: Per message
Over quota enforcement: Non deliver to originator
Subject: RE: Can’t limit quota of mail file
We don’t set it per message, because user will get annoyed, and if vip user get annoyed, they will make noise to your boss, and your boss will come to you.
How long will Lotus send over quota notification when your mailbox size has exceeded the quota…? No limitation?
But your user should know if they received one notification, means one of their email has not been delivered, therefore, they should settle their problem immediately.
Non Deliver to originator - The Router stops delivering new messages to the mail file and returns a nondelivery message to the sender reporting that the message could not be delivered because the intended recipient’s mail file was full.
Subject: RE: Can’t limit quota of mail file
I set per message because it is the one of company’s policies and like you said it’s come to inbox no limit.
for
“But your user should know if they received one notification, means one of their email has not been delivered, therefore, they should settle their problem immediately”
Almost of my user is aeroplane captain. they refer that
they must go to other country for several months.
So, they can’t manage or check their mail box - -’
Actually when I set to “non deliver to originator” ,
the message must could not be deliver to mail box
but it can.
Subject: RE: Can’t limit quota of mail file
I assumed that you have restarted router task after when you set to “non deliver to originator”.
Other than that, I don’t have any idea if it is does not work.
Subject: RE: Can’t limit quota of mail file
I have restarted router task already.Actually, the server was crash often. hehehe
Anyway, thanks a lot for your suggestion, Ivan.
