It isn't - usually - frequent to have lots of mailboxes over-quota. For the OP, I found a combination of recipient reject (when over-quota already) and an occasional bounce (when the mailbox is going over-quota) to be quite acceptable. Yes it will bounce from time to time, -- the message that triggers the over-quota condition, -- but the rest of the time it will either be accepted and delivered or rejected. That to say, updating recipient blacklists does the trick. /mjt
