From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: With say for example a 10MB soft disk quotas enabled, and a 15MB hard disk quota, when attempting to email a user who has exceeded this quota, sendmail cannot deliver the message, providing the following error: stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/bin/procmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL The email remains in the local queue, re-attempted every queue time until I assume it eventually gets rejected. Ultimately, couldn't procmail instead mention that the user quotas have been exceeded, and email the sender accordingly notifying that the message will be "delivered when there is enough disk quota?" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): procmail-3.22-5 sendmail-devel-8.11.6-15 sendmail-8.11.6-15 sendmail-cf-8.11.6-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. As above. 2. 3. Actual Results: As above. Additional info: procmail-3.22-5 sendmail-devel-8.11.6-15 sendmail-8.11.6-15 sendmail-cf-8.11.6-15
There was some discussion of this on the procmail list a while back: http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/pipermail/procmail/2003-August/016289.html http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/pipermail/procmail/2003-August/016078.html Does this still happen with more recent releases of RHL or Fedora Core?
