Your definition of `operator' here includes the remote user whose mailbox is full, but it shouldn't; a situation which will be corrected in due course by the normal action of the receiving user reading their mail isn't usefully described as `requiring operator intervention' in this context. Under normal circumstances a retry will (eventually) succeed, because the user will reduce their disk usage to get back under quota. -- ``As far as I can make out, in the US at least a libertarian is essentially an anarchist who doesn't like other people.''
