Qmail has no inherent quota facility. In conjunction with file system
user
disk quota's you can setup basic quota's.
The message you are seeing is from vdelivermail.c around line 782
#ifdef HARD_QUOTA
if ( pw_data != NULL && sstrncmp(pw_data->pw_shell, "NO",2)!=0 &&
msg_size > 1000 && cur_msg_bytes + msg_size > per_user_limit )
{
sprintf(tmp_file, "%s/.over-quota.msg", curdir);
if ( (fs=fopen(tmp_file, "r"))==NULL){
if ( strstr(curdir, "/users/") == NULL ) {
sprintf(tmp_file, "%s/domains/.over-quota.msg",
VPOPMAILDIR);
fs=fopen(tmp_file, "r");
}
}
if ( fs == NULL ) {
printf("User is over quota email returned\n");
/*
HERE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Where the per_user_limit is set by:
per_user_limit = atol(pw_data->pw_shell);
and where the pw_shell is the last field in the password structure
*/
} else {
while( fgets( tmp_file, 256, fs ) != NULL ) {
fputs(tmp_file, stdout);
}
fclose(fs);
}
unlink(mailname);
exit(100);
/*bounce_it_back( mailname );*/
}
#endif
So the message is coming from vdelivermail as part of vpopmail and not
from the qmail source code.
I would follow these steps
1) Trace where the user ends up in the qmail system.
a) /etc/passwd user
b) vpopmail user?
c) what Maildir directory is it attempting to deliver to
2) check size of Maildir directory
du Maildir
There are three directories in a Maildir to count for quotas:
new cur tmp
3) Use your log files for clues.
Note: emails smaller than 1000Bytes will always be delivered. So..
4) Test sending a email smaller than 1000 bytes
