Hi.

I'm running RHEL4. I'm using  postfix 2.2.10 with VDA patch and everything
is fine, except the following.

With parameter:

virtual_overquota_bounce = no

I send a message from [email protected] to [email protected] and
found this in the logs of dominio2 (the server running postfix+vda):

Aug 13 16:11:57 mail postfix/virtual[25327]: A992B5E478E: to=<
[email protected]>, relay=virtual, delay=1, status=deferred (maildir
delivery failed: Sorry, the user's maildir has overdrawn his diskspace
quota, please try again later.)

mailq | grep -i -A 2 A992B5E478E
A992B5E478E     3464 Thu Aug 13 16:11:56  MAILER-DAEMON
(maildir delivery failed: Sorry, the user's maildir has overdrawn his
diskspace quota, please try again later.)
                                         [email protected]

The message was in queue for deliver, waiting until the maxlifetime.
Correct.



But my client have a different demand. If the user has over quota problems,
postfix should send a bounce to the sender instead of left the message in
the queue. So I used:

virtual_overquota_bounce = yes

Using this, I found this in the logs:

Aug 13 16:14:27 mail postfix/virtual[28430]: B6FD45E4799: to=<
[email protected]>, relay=virtual, delay=1, status=bounced (maildir
delivery failed: Sorry, the user's maildir has overdrawn his diskspace
quota, please try again later.)

mailq | grep -i -A 2 A992B5E478E


This way the message was removed from the queue and in dispite of the status
became bounced, the sender ([email protected]) never receives the
bounce message. I didn't found any logs after the removal of the e-mail
(B6FD45E4799) from queue.


Any ideas ?
