Disk Quota Qmail
Dear All, I have Redhat 5.2 with Qmail. I have enabled quota and it works fine, except for the fact that mail send to the user doesn't bounce back to the sender. The user also doesn't get the mail as Qmail just records " Temporary Deferral in Maildir Delivery" in its log. Can you please point to me on how can I use disk quota with qmail ? Another question is what is practically good ? use disk quota or force databytes ? Please guide. TIA Shashi

I use my patch to qmail-local (attached) which treats quota exceeded
as a permanent error, bouncing the message back to the sender. Use
of control/databytes is suggested as well.

In truth, it IS temporary. The user can always clean up his directory / purge previous messages, thus making delivery possible. It'll bouce back in 5 days if delivery remains impossible for the period. Maybe the give-up period could be shortened, just for this quota-exceeded case. Another question is what is practically good ? use disk quota or force databytes ? Duh. What is "force databytes"? Please guide. Meditate, light an incense and detach yourself from mundane values. There, you're guided. ;)

Disk Quota+Qmail
Dear All ! I have Redhat 5.2 with Qmail as the MTA. Each user of the system has limited disk quota. When I send mails to any user whose quota is finished, Qmail just loggs "Temporary Deferral on Mail Delivery" and the mails just remains on queue. I want the mails to be bounced back to the sender. My /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime is set to 2 days. I epected the mail to be bounced back after 2 days, but didn't worked. Please suggest !! Shashi

However, when you set the queue lifetime to 2 days, the message will not bounce at exactly 2 days. qmail will make one last attempt to deliver the email, after the 2 days are up, and if it fails, then it will bounce. In your case, maybe the 2 days are up, but the message has not reached its retry time. Try sending an ALRM signal to qmail-send, and see if it bounces. Dear All !
