Hi,
We are using both mail forwarding (with an alias_database and $HOME/.forward - files), and a mailbox_size_limit for the user mailboxes. The local delivery is done by postfix/local. The problem now is: If the mailbox is full, also the forwarding does not work anymore -- postfix/local generates a SOFTBOUNCE before trying to forward the mail: postfix/smtpd[12341]: A9B8515C6F8: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] postfix/cleanup[12335]: A9B8515C6F8: message-id=<20101022181430.e253115c...@...de> postfix/qmgr[5039]: A9B8515C6F8: from=<r...@....de>, size=855, nrcpt=1 (queue active) postfix/local[12342]: A9B8515C6F8: to=<a...@....de>, relay=local, delay=1, delays=0/0.01/0/1, dsn=4.2.0, status=SOFTBOUNCE (can't create user output file. Command output: procmail: Error while writing to "/var/mail/abf" ) When there is space left in the mailbox, the mail is locally delivered and then also forwarded correctly: postfix/qmgr[5039]: A9B8515C6F8: from=<r...@....de>, size=855, nrcpt=1 (queue active) postfix/local[12401]: A9B8515C6F8: to=<a...@.....de>, relay=local, delay=425, delays=425/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION") postfix/local[12401]: A9B8515C6F8: to=<a...@.....de>, relay=local, delay=425, delays=425/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarded as B4E2015C0FA) postfix/qmgr[5039]: A9B8515C6F8: removed Is there an (easy) way how I could convince postfix to forward mails also if local delivery is impossible due to mailbox_size_limit? E.g. exchanging the order (first forwarding, then delivery in the local mailbox (and this local delivery maybe followed by the SOFTBOUNCE)) would be perfect for me. (Then it would be possible to distribute automatic warn messages to users whose mailbox is full). The configuration: service "local" is defined in master.cf as: local unix - n n - - local The relevant parts of "postconf -n" (except myhostname, the command-direcotries,..): alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases content_filter = smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10024 default_transport = uucp inet_interfaces = localhost mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 102400000 message_size_limit = 30240000 myorigin = /etc/mailname readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix recipient_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_canonical recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = shuttle sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical soft_bounce = yes transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 Axel
