OK I want to limit the size of e-mails to particular aliases on my qmail
system. This is a weird concept, and not a natural one, I know, so here's
the time for some of you to be real inventive!
Basically, I am using fastforward in conjunction with supervise, tcpserver,
multilog, (qmail, in case there r some drongo's out there), the whole
shabang. I want some users in the aliases file to be limited in the size of
an e-mail that I send to them (I act virtually as an incoming relay for
these users... Mail hits me from the Internet and I 'bounce' it to the
appropriate user somewhere else on the net). I only have limited outgoing
bandwidth (but virtually unlimited coming in), so I would much rather reject
e-mails than send them to the user or bounce the entire e-mail back to the
originator.
I know the databytes file can limit ALL e-mail, but I want to limit it for
particular aliases (the $LOCAL part of the recipient). Remember that e-mails
handled by fastforward are actually delivered to the alias user first, and
piped in .qmail-default, so there may be some way of setting databytes on
the fly, depending on the user that it appears to be delivered to and the
'rule' set up for that user's e-mail limit. I don't know the best way of
implementing this, or even in what stage of the delivery databytes is read,
so any ideas from any of you smart people out there?
Thanks
