But in cbp/modules/Quotas.pm is no special treatment of a DEFER action (the if-block around line 460++) - I'm using snapshot cluebringer-200806021908, maybe this is included in svn HEAD as well ;-) Btw., I've tried to access the bugtracking system (after creating an account) but I get 'access denied' when I try to reading a bugreport (e.g., 'You are not authorized to access bug #7.') >> Another question concerning policyd is whether it is possible to use >> policyd also for postfix' queue handling (e.g. put all mails into the >> queue and then use the quota module for throttling mail delivery of >> certain mails) > > DEFER will reject the mail back to the sending MTA within SMTP > transaction with a temporary 45x error.

It would be nice to have only one MTA instance doing both. But I'm not sure whether postfix allows to tweak the queueing mechanism and add some policies. best regards, quam -- Markus Quaritsch E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: www.qwws.net P: +43 650 7997638 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ policyd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/policyd-users
