That's a sledge hammer solution, but thank you. I'm still trying to find a more intelligent way of dealing with it.
Some people actually delete /var/mail to fix it :).


When I try to use deliverquota from procmail, in the similar fomrat you're suggesting, but appending $HOME/Maildir to the command.,
it kind of seems to to work halfway. Once the user is approaching the quotas ( both ufs and maildirmake -q ), a blank message starts coming
into the inbox. It has no headers, wrong date ( 1969 ) and no content. It appears in the inbox of imap client, but in reality it's not in maildir, it's just a 0 byte file in /var/mail/ . If I delete the file, it gets recreated with 0 bytes with the next message that comes in. It's a bit puzzling.
I renamed the quotawarnmsg file and it is world readable. Anyone ??




DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"

:0 fwh
| /usr/libexec/courier-imap/bin/deliverquota -w 85 $DEFAULT

that explains how to use maildirs with procmail. I figured that out
easily. Procmail delivers just fine to the Maildirs, but when the user

" Interesting.

    % sudo chown root /var/mail/$user
    % sudo chmod 000 /var/mail/$user

What I need is a way to use deliverquota as procmail recipe ?!


Sorry, hazy on that, having never done it.
If deliverquota is a command, then something like this MIGHT work:

    :0 fwh
    | deliverquota

and hopefully prevent Procamil from being stupid when the user goes over quota.


Just out of curiosity, what would "not stupid" look like, exactly?
A bounce message that sez, "Over Quota"?

Do you know how to do that ?


No, but I have some ideas.

Aloha mai Nai`a!
