My lotus admin has been complaining that the many of our mail servers has been depleted of space (for ex, ia 30gb drive has only 430 KB free space ) . I have to present a strong case to the management to restrict the users to limit &nbsp;capacity and come up with an email policy to ensure the same. <br />
How does performance of Lotus Notes DB relates to the available free space and wat other problems crop up due to depleted space ? <br />
<br />
may be the question is too generic..but as my id suggests am dumb ..wud appreciate if you guys cud help me :)

Depleted mail server  capacity and associated problems

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
