-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Note that in normal operation, ``over quota'' is treated as a temporary failure (meaning it stays in queue until it can be delivered). If you have lots of mailboxes with lots of newbie users who subscribe to every mailing list in existance and then don't check mail for months at a time, this is a problem. It is trivial to patch sendmail's sysexits.h with a new return code, such as EX_QUOTA, and use that return code in `deliver' for over quota conditions. You can then handle EX_QUOTA as a temporary or a permanent error, as you wish.
