I have a unique situation that is driving me nuts. We have some
customers with 100MB+ quotas that often send/receive 30MB+ emails so we
have a high limit in the sizelimit file. Well we have other accounts
that have much lower quotas say around 10MB. The problem we are running
into lately is that courier accepts a file >10MB for one of these users
and then maildrop rejects it as over quota. It goes into the queue and
sits there for 4 days because it will never be able to deliver. The
really bad bit is that after a recent upgrade the new behavior of
deferring new inbound message for an account that already has something
deferred in the queue kicks in. So now little messages <10MB that
should be able to deliver get deferred with "Address Temporary
Unavailable" until the first message bounces out of the queue. I have
been uping the quotas on the more problematic accounts, but would like a
better solution.
So two questions:
1) Is there a way to have maildrop hard fail the delivery of a message
if the file is larger than quota and soft fail only when the message
size is < quota but puts it over the limit?
2) Is there a way to shutoff the new "Address Temporary Unavailable"
behavior?
Thanks,
Jake
