Quota problems are, in my experience, usually dealt with by a human being in a reasonable time; you can probably afford to keep a given message on the queue for (say) 30 days before timing out and generating an NDR. Graeme Now that's an interesting approach. I'll give it a try. And is there a way to tune my rules in such way, that if message, queued for ouer-quota retry, was not delivered in 7 days - then it should die, without generating any bounces? 99% of messages that end up in my server in such retry queues are obsolete in 3-5 days (some touristic mailing lists and so on) - I mean, if message cannot be delivered in 7 days nobody is going to miss it anyways and it may be purged. But I was not able to find a way to kill message without NDR - the only way was to send them to postmaster instead of bouncing, but I don't need those 200-300 bounces per day in my mailbox 8) Thank you in advance.
