A site which imposes quotas can either reject temporarily when a user is over quote, or reject permanently the first time the message is offered. The former assumes that users are reasonable, and will clear out their quota problem fairly soon. The latter assumes that users are ignoring their mail. If you want to change the behavior, the Postfix configuration (about which I know nothing) would be the place to look. Interestingly, the O'Reilly book "Postfix, The Definitive Guide" (my copy was printed in Dec 2003...first edition) does not mention "quota" in its index. --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
