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.]

Yes.
Instead can lmtp be configured to accept the mail , and redirect to a
postmaster account

Why not reconfigure the process delivering the mail to Cyrus (for instance 
Postfix) to forward the message to a different account when it is unable to 
deliver because of this error?
I would expect the error to actually specify the reason (mailbox full) ?

IOERRORs and Apple Mail To Do

2010-03-05 Thread Michael Menge

Hi,

We are using Cyrus 2.3.16, since upgrading to this version Cyrus
reports more ioerrors. For some of these reported errors there
seems to be a pattern, but I'm not sure if this is by chance or not.

In many cases, if the ioerror is reading message: unexpected end of file
the user has a folder Apple Mail To Do . As the errormessage did not  
include the folder or the file with the unexpected end I don't know if  
these things are related or not.


I would like to know if someone can confirm this.


Regards

 Michael Menge
