Hey Manikandan,
This is from the man page for qmail-smtpd
(http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-smtpd.html):
databytes
Maximum number of bytes allowed in a message, or 0 for
no limit. Default: 0. If a message exceeds this
limit, qmail-smtpd returns a permanent error code to
the client; in contrast, if the disk is full or qmail-
smtpd hits a resource limit, qmail-smtpd returns a
temporary error code.
databytes counts bytes as stored on disk, not as
transmitted through the network. It does not count the
qmail-smtpd Received line, the qmail-queue Received
line, or the envelope.
If the environment variable DATABYTES is set, it
overrides databytes.
As you can see there is a environment variable available that can override the
default setting from your control folder. I am not entirely certain if this
also works on a per-user basis (I don’t think it would) but it would certainly
work on a IP basis. This is from another sample on the Webz
https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/qmail/1565926285/ch04s09.html):
# allow 50 megabyte powerpoints from the boss
209.58.173.10:allow,DATABYTES="50000000"
# allow 20 meg outgoing mail from nearby hosts
172.16.15.1-127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",DATABYTES="20000000"
So if that user is running with a specific IP you could allow them to exceed
your default limit. This may or may not work for you but it’s the best I could
find quickly. Others may have better ideas/solutions for your problem :-)
Cheers,
Sebastian
