That is what I figured. Would it be possible to implement some quota checks into the SMAIL threads? The current behavior is confusing and frustrating for end users. As an end user, the expectation is to not accept email into a mailbox if the mailbox is over quota regardless of whether or not the mail was forwarded. One possible solution would be to check quotas with SMAIL in addition to SMTP. If SMAIL sees a mailbox is over quota, SMAIL would bounce it to the original sender instead of ignoring the quota.

Tha is exactly the case and it'd a *real* PITA to fix. With XMail you can build really long and complex delivery chains, and delivery (even local) is not sync but is done by dropping rewritten messages into the queue and have the SMAIL threads to do the job (somehow later in time). - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
