Mailbox full

Hi,

Not sure if this one's possible or not but here goes. If a users mailbox is
full it's dbmail-lmtpd that reports this and sends a bounce back. Are there
any working methods to reject the email at the MTA (i.e. postfix) via an sql
lookup or something to reject this on rcpt to?

Cheers

That's how dbmail-smtp (now dbmail-inject) works, but dbmail-lmtpd
shouldn't - it should return a failure code to the lmtp client. What
the client does is another story, and it might create a bounce,
depending on your setup.

That's mta specific. With postfix you could write a policy daemon
that does a quota lookup (I got about half-way done on one of those
once). There's another setting that has postfix hold the initial smtp
connection open and send the error code after it has actually attempted
delivery, but I sure can't seem to find what it is. (Default behavior
is to accept the message and put it in a queue for later delivery.)
