Hi, I'm fed up with mailboxes that are small and get big messages and then have that big message in the mailq and blocking other messages.
In archive there was proposition of patch which sounds like a one way to solve this. But the way it is solved courier, not delivering the first and blocking the others makes this problem worse! Now the user don't get quota warning message nor the big message and courier is blocking the delivery of everything else! http://www.mail-archive.com/courier-i...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00315.html That patch would have delivered that one big message breaking the quota but I think it would also warned the user about the quota limit. Other way to solve this would be just to get a quota warning or info message to user. But ok, maildirsize says that well the user has plenty of room in the maildir. So cannot really parse maildirsize files to determine which users have a problem. Parsing mailq and determining quota overs from it seems nasty solution. Grepping the maillog for "maildir over quota" seems also a nasty solution as there can be old and useless warnings and the situation is already resolved. But how to check is that resolved as the maildirsize cannot tell it. One which would help a little would be option to tell maildrop that warn when the mailbox has less than X megabytes of room. But there aren't option for that. And of course that has problems if the mailbox is small or really big. It should have the size and percentage both to be little bit usefull. Like if mailbox has under 20 megabytes of room OR mailbox is 50% full (and the free space is lower than given 20 megabytes). But this would just help and isn't really a solution. Courier should when noticing "maildir over quota" to send quotawarnmsg which it now doesn't do. Or is there some solution to this problem which I have missed? -- Yhteistyöterveisin, Jani Ollikainen @ Pronetko Networks Oy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
