Hi Sam, thanks for the explanation, but. When this message appears:
id=0020600B.4A9FDAE3.000019C5,from=<>,addr=<[email protected]>: 250 Backscatter bounce dropped. Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courieresmtp: id=0020600B.4A9FDAE3.000019C5,from=<>,addr=<[email protected]>,success: delivered: backscatter bounce dropped Does that error come from courier modules or from the @yahoo.com server? If it is from courier, how to do in order to inform [email protected] (or any domain) that his mail had failed? Now, > Well, messages should not be queueing up.

As I already stated [email protected]'s maildirsize is: 52428800S 52429312 45 from many days ago, but sometimes courier accepts email to t...@mydomain user and it queues again. Does courier have a counter or something similar, that counts the times that and error of a failed delivey and reset it after a period of time? Why courier accept and queues it, if [email protected] is already overquota, Wouldn't be better to just block delivey from @externalserver.com?, this way the sender may know that there is a problem with that account ([email protected]) and takes action by its own. i'm sorry for all the questions, but I'd like to solve this issue and perhaps someone else have had this kind of problem to. --- El jue 3-sep-09, Sam Varshavchik <[email protected]> escribió: > De: Sam Varshavchik <[email protected]> > Asunto: Re: [courier-users] Setting a bounce address > A: [email protected] > Fecha: jueves, 3 septiembre, 2009, 5:23 pm > Carlos Lopez writes: > > > 5- Then courier send back the failed message to the > message's sender > > and the external email server reply with this error: > > > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courierd: > id=00206007.4A9FD553.000011C2,from=<[email protected]>,addr=<[email protected]>: > Message Failed. > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courierd: > id=00206007.4A9FD553.000011C2,from=<[email protected]>,addr=<[email protected]>,status: > failure > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courierd: > completed,id=00206007.4A9FD553.000011C2 > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courierd: > started,id=00206007.4A9FD553.000011C2,from=<>,module=dsn,host=,addr=<[email protected]> > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courierd: > started,id=0020600B.4A9FDAE3.000019C5,from=<>,module=esmtp,host=yahoo.com,addr=<[email protected]> > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courierd: > completed,id=00206007.4A9FD553.000011C2 > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courierd: > Waiting. shutdown time=none, wakeup time=Thu Sep > 3 10:00:17 2009, queuedelivering=2, inprogress=1 > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courieresmtp: > id=0020600B.4A9FDAE3.000019C5,from=<>,addr=<[email protected]>: > 250 Backscatter bounce dropped. > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courieresmtp: > id=0020600B.4A9FDAE3.000019C5,from=<>,addr=<[email protected]>,success: > delivered: backscatter bounce dropped > > Sep 3 09:04:03 localhost courieresmtp: > id=0020600B.4A9FDAE3.000019C5,from=<>,addr=<[email protected]>,status: > success > > > > After calling the sender at [email protected], he > responsed that he does not have any message from my server > with a failure notice. > > > > Is > [--->id=0020600B.4A9FDAE3.000019C5,from=<>,addr=<[email protected]>,success: > delivered: backscatter bounce dropped<----] > > a normal action on courier? > > Yes.
