Hi, ram schrieb: > Can I set up lmtp such a way that the overquota messages are redirected > to a postmaster account What do you mean by that? If the mailbox is "over quota" LMTP rejects the mail with a temporary error 4xx. So the MTA can not deliver it (this time). In this case the MTA has to deal with it. If you want to do something else with this message when, I would check there. [IMAPd does not a have a mailqueue to store mail to go to somewhere else and forward it there - excluding the sieve redirect mechanism, but in this case the message is successfully delivered to the user anyway.] Marc Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
