Fwd: Tellmail & quota's

No one has responded to this yet, isn't there a way to bump
up a group of
users quota without going through each and every one to do
it?

----- Forwarded Message -----
We've decided to up the quota for our students. How do I
increase their
quota's with tellmail?

I have two groups setup in surgemail, staff & student.
Staff gets a default
of 200MB and it is increased as the user requires. For
students they get
25MB. For anyone without a quota limit specified they get
the default of
25MB.

I've changed the default to 50MB, how do I change all of the
student's
who's dat file contains 25MB so they can 50MB as well? Will
surgemail give
them the new quota when they login or is there a tellmail
command I need to
issue?

While I'm on Tellmail... I was just trying to issue a
tellmail command to
see what the current quota is set to and I'm not doing
something right.
Here is my results:
tellmail find_user cnc.bc.ca Quota *
SurgeMail Version 3.8g-21, Built Feb  8 2007 09:41:59
---snip---
Searching domain (cnc.bc.ca) for users
        with field (Quota) containing (*)
DONE no users found

Shouldn't that have yielded me all users with a quota set at
all?

When we did a quota increase recently, I had to go through
and increase
each account. We are using LDAP for our authentication so I
made all the
changes directly in LDAP using Perl. Depends on your auth
module a bit,
I suppose. With NWAuth you can echo commands to it which
might work. We
don't use it so don't take my word for it directly.
Something along the
lines of:

        echo "modify userexample.com (NULL)
quota="50mb"" |./nwauth
