Re: Quotas on user inboxes



It looks as though you are correct that the MTA does attempt send a
message, however if I am reading the logs correctly, it does so as the
offending user? It looks as though the return mail is never being sent as
the user is unable to write to the outgoing mail queue as I have their
quota set on /var.
The last two lines in the log excerpt I'm including are what mostly
concern me. Does this show a misconfiguration in sendmail?

Sincere Thanks.
