Yes i am already using this line in my /etc/tcp.smtp but the mail is not returned immediately to the sender infact it gets queued and qmail keeps on trying to deliver it in the mailbox until the queuelifetime expired.I want to send it back immediately. My /etc/tcp.smtp line is: :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue",CHKUSER_MBXQUOTA="95" I am using CHKUSER_MBXQUOTA="95" the mail will be returned to the sender during smtp negotiation if the user's mailbox is already 95% full and if lets say the mailbox is 70% full and the total mailbox size is 1MB and i send a mail of size 500KB to that mailbox the mail will be queued and returned to the sender after the expiry of queuelifetime. I hope i have clear the situation. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards Naeem
