Dietmar, SENDERQUOTALIMIT=2100000000 is what I use, and it is defined to be in bytes. It can't exceed what can be stored in a signed, long integer (or around 2.1 x 10^9). I would say your setting of around 200 MB is certainly reasonable. Since I don't really want to be bothered with this limit, I chose essentially the maximum possible value, and throttle rather on the number of messages and the number of recipients.
What's your SMTP server's setting 00 if any -- on the maximum size of any email message? In postfix, it's defined in the main.cf file in the variable "message_size_limit". It makes sense to match that with the policyd setting, "SENDERMSGSIZE." Is it possible that it's being rejected by the SMTP server anyway, because the message size is already too big? If you tink some emails are getting through, based on the policyd and mail logs, you should be able to find evidence of some that did get delivered, and hence be able to check what the real size of the message was. If not, then none of them probably ever really got delivered. --Tobias Dietmar Braun wrote: > Hello, > > we have SENDERQUOTALIMIT=200000000 in mail throttling, which should > be an tremendous high value which no user can ever reach within our > defined time period of 6h. > > Although, users get blocked: > > 2008-02-21 15:22:28 smtp3 local1.info policyd policyd: rcpt=196667, > throttle=abuse(f), host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, from=xxx, toxxx, size=3486/20480000, > quota=831225467/200000000, count=59/1000(59), rcpt=166/1000(166), abuse=0, > threshold=415%|5%|16% > 2008-02-21 15:22:28 smtp3 local1.info postfix postfix/smtpd[24606]: > NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT fromxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 554 5.7.1 <xxx>: Recipient > address rejected: Policy Rejection- Too many mails - please try again > later.; from=<xxx> to=xxx> proto=ESMTP helo=<x> > > Grepping with the IP through the mail logs, I cannot find that huge > mail volume the user sent. > > Any ideas? > > Thanks and regards, > Dietmar > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
