My problem is still relative incompetence. This would work if I can configure Postfix to use deliverquota. Sadly, the courier website only details how to make qmail work, google has a ton of unanswered requests on how to make postfix work in the courier mailing list and only 1 in the postfix mailing list: http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0412/1673.html An option that appears to be neither quick or simple or easier than just patching postfix with the patch I currently have.. A quick look at my master.cf says postfix is using maildrop already.. maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} sadly, it doesn't exist on the server though: donald:~# dpkg --search /usr/bin/maildrop dpkg: /usr/bin/maildrop not found. Is there some (easy) way to configure Postfix to use deliverquota to deliver the mails? Notwithstanding the fact that this would still be done after the sending system was already disconnected?
