Hi everyone,

We are seeing some undesirable behavior with some of our users who are over quota... some spam gets in under the radar, and even though it might be processed with SA or whatever, if it goes to a user who is over quota, maildrop will bounce it to the "sender", which in the case of spam is forged.

So... we become a source of backscatter. Not nice. So we are wondering, is there a way to avoid this beside blocking all "spam" outright (which is not a business we'd like to get involved in for obvious reasons)?? Is there a way to use functionality similar to mailbot for maildrop over quota bounces to restrict the number of times in a given day (or other period of time) that a bounce is sent to the same addrses?

Thanks!
