Thanx! A wrapper seems to be a good suggestion. I had to change 77 to 75 and 'return' to 'exit' to make it work in my situation.

But I changed it a bit more, so now I only bounce for quota reasons and not for other problems (for example wrong .mailfilter perms):

dawn:/root-# cat /local/bin/maildrop-wrapper #!/bin/sh # # wrapper to get permanent failures (diskquota) # # HvL

result=`quota -l -q` if [ "$result" ]; then echo "This user is over quota"; exit 100 else /usr/bin/maildrop $* fi

Cheers,
