More precisely, the OP should report the complete (unmodified except for the recipient address where it is fine to hide the localpart) response from the exchange server for an over-quota mailbox, and a second response for a non-existent mailbox. It should be possible to configure the address verification transport used with Exchange (with care) to treat these appropriately, while ignoring most other failures: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_delivery_status_filter http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#default_delivery_status_filter The address-verification positive cache time would need to be sufficiently short to detect most quota-violations promptly. Inbound quota violations could be made less frequent by having a separate (lower) hard limit for sending mail than for receving mail. A user who exceeds the "send" hard limit would be unable to send mail until disk-usage is reduced below the quota soft limit, but would still be able to receive mail. Presumably users would take prompt action to be able to send email, and would then avoid having any inbound email bounced. I don't know whether Exchange supports limits of this type. -- Viktor.

If you want Postfix to block mail for an over-quota EXCHANGE user, then Postfix needs to find out whether an EXCHANGE user is over quota. Does EXCHANGE support such queries? Dovecot does, though a quota service. Wietse
Re: Postfix as Relay for Exchange, User overquota
thx, i've implemented that already for dovecot. but i have the quota problem with users that are on our exchange server backend (it doesnt support this quota service) is there a way to tell postfix that it accepts only mail on the frontend when the backend server (transport smtp destination) says that everything with this dst address is ok? a advanced "reject_unverified_recipient" method with the full header or something like that? kind regards, Stefan ___ www.epb.at - Your IT Partner in East Austria

Postfix uses the RCPT TO command to find out if a server is willing to accept the message. In the case of Dovecot, there is a way to find out if a user is over quota (talk to the quota service). Unless there is a way to ask the Exchange server about quota status, Postfix cannot find out whether a user isoverr their mail quota. Wietse
