Hi,
consider the situation. There is a disk quota for a user of 100MB. the user
has used 99MB of the quota. Now he receives a mail of 2MB size, which for
obvious reasons bounces with the error message that the mailbox is full.
Now I want to know which of the following assumptions is true,
1. Is sendmail checking whether the new mail can fit in ??
2. Sendmail receives the complete mail, but quotaon( or related program)
does not allow the sendmail to deliver the mail in users mailbox and so the
sendmail responds back with error message that the user mailbox is full.
3. Sendmail receives the SMTP connection for mail, gets the incoming mail
size, checks up with the quota system for the user space, and if everything
is OK the receives the mail data else it refuses with and error message.
Thanks
