Reclaiming Disk Space Used by Mail Service Logs
Mac OS X Server automatically reclaims disk space used by mail service logs when they reach
a certain size or age. If you are comfortable using the Terminal application and UNIX
command-line tools, you can change the criteria that determine when disk space is
reclaimed. You can also use a command-line tool to monitor disk space whenever you want,
independently of the automatic disk-space recovery process. For additional information, see
“Log Rolling Scripts” on page 555 and “diskspacemonitor” on page 556, both in Chapter 17,
“Tools for Advanced Users.”
Supporting Mail Users
This section discusses mail settings in your server’s user accounts and mail service settings in
email client software.
Configuring Mail Settings for User Accounts
To make mail service available to users, you must configure mail settings in your user
accounts. For each user, you need to enable mail service, enter the DNS name or IP address
of your mail server, and select the protocols for retrieving incoming mail (POP, IMAP, or
both). You can also set a quota on disk space available for storing a user’s mail. If you
configure a user account for both POP and IMAP, additional options let you specify whether
the user has separate inboxes for POP and IMAP and whether the POP mailbox appears in the
IMAP folder list. One more option specifies whether mail service alerts the user via NotifyMail
when mail arrives.
You configure these settings in the Accounts module of Workgroup Manager. For instructions,
see “Working With Mail Settings for Users” on page 150 in Chapter 3, “Users and Groups.”
