Subject:[courier-users] Over Quota / Temporary UnavailableActions...

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
