No is doesn't. IGNOREQUOTA is an LMTP keyword and you don't look like
you're sending LMTP commands to deliver.
I am seeing the same
that Jamie was, in that our system messages for over quota are getting
bounced because they are over quota. For example when our quota checker ran
this morning we got:
The original message was received at Tue, 15 Jun 2004 23:00:05 -0500 (CDT)
from localhost.rolet.com [127.0.0.1]
- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -

(reason: 552 5.2.2 Over quota)
How would we address this situation using the "-q"?
deliver -q works for me.

If you're going to speak LMTP directly (-l option), then no other
options apply and you need to add the IGNOREQUOTA protocol element
yourself (see below). Actually, if you're writing your own LMTP client,
then talk to lmtpd directly instead of using deliver as a pass-through
proxy.

deliver -q won't ignore quotas
Hi all
I am trying to get a script (derived from the archives of this list)
running that will deliver a warning mail to users who are in danger of
breaching / have breached their mailbox quota. The script determines the
users affected by running the quota command and then tries to send them
a mail using deliver with the -q directive to deliver regardless of
their quota usage. It works fine for users who are approaching their
full quota but not for those currently over it.
I have run the script without the deliver portion and manually sent the
mails, again using "deliver -q -l" and get a "452 4.2.2 Over quota"
error which disregards the recipient. Is this a bug with deliver or am I
doing something wrong
I'm using Cyrus 2.1.16 and the script is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Settings
$quotaprog = "/usr/cyrus/bin/quota";
$deliverprog = "/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver";
$warnpct = 90;
# Lists
@warn = ();
@over = ();
# Process quota output
open(QUOTA, "$quotaprog |");
while () {
next if /^ Quota/;
($junk, $pctused, $junk, $qroot) = split;
($junk, $user) = split /\./, $qroot;
if ($pctused >= 100) {
push @over, $user;
}
elsif ($pctused >= $warnpct) {
push @warn, $user;
}
}
close(QUOTA);
# Construct a date string
# Warning messages
if (@warn) {
open(DELIVER, "| $deliverprog -q -l");
print DELIVER "MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
foreach $warnuser (@warn) {
print DELIVER "RCPT TO:<$warnuser>\n";
};
print DELIVER "DATA\n";
