OK, I have a quick question about mail queues and how
they work. I've looked though some documentation including
the RFC's and I haven't been able to pull out the answer
to this.
What I'm curious about is where exactly messages get queued
and what determines that. For example, if I'm sending a
message from my mail server and for some reason it needs to
be queued, will it always sit in my queue no matter what, or
by chance could it also be queued on the receiver's mail server?
To be more specific, let's say I implement quotas on my mail
server. If someone who is not a customer of mine (an AOL user
for example) tries to send one of my customers an email
and that customer of mine has reached their quota limit, who's
queue will that message go to? Always the sender's? Always
mine? Or even sometimes mine and sometimes the sender's depending
upon the situation?
Thanks,
