Hello,I've an Exim setup with virtual users that are delivered into a maildir location. Mailbox quota is set up and configured in the appendfile transport with the quota option.
When an e-mail is received for a user but the mailbox is full, this results in a bounce message which ultimately gets me on DNS blacklists. (And it causes backscatter spam which is to be prevented.)
What can I do to not only verify the recipient at ACL time but also the mailbox quota to detect delivery failure at an early stage and not only when it's too late and we already accepted responsibility for the message?
I've attached the Exim config in case it's relevant.This server is running Ubuntu 16.04 but I'll switch to an Ubuntu 20.04 server later this year.
