I have been struggling for the past week with an issue with vpopmail
and quotas I could really use your expertise on. I have no problems
with the mailfilter other than people not getting messages when they
are over quota. I can tell you that if I delete the mailfilter and
.qmail file I do get bounces so I know it's maildrop and not vpopmail.
I have been using Matt Simersons mailfilter which is here:
http://goodcleanemail.com/files/other/mailfilter
I call it like so inside my users folder IE; ~vpopmail/domains/domain.xxx/user
|preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop mailfilter | /usr/local/bin/setlock
/var/log/maildrop/setlock multilog t s1000000 n20 /var/log/maildrop
My problem is when I set a quota on any user the sender nor the
recepient do not get the warning about being over quota. If you look
at the mailfilter, here is the section that tells it to bounce:
to "|/var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying '$EXT@$HOST is over quota'"
Now when I look at the log when it's SUPPOSED to bounce, I get this:
and the users quota is:
quota: 1S
usage: 100%

Now I have looked EVERYWHERE for a fix and below are some of the ones
that look promising but nothing wants to work
http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/?README.maildirquota.html
Just seems to be a manual page
http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=courier-maildrop&a=2004-12&m=517844
This page recommends using a wrapper but nope, not working there either

Tried the script ColdDot posted, nothing happened there

So at this point after googling this since last friday and trying to
find a solution and I am at a loss. I know bouncing messages to
senders isin't a good idea as spammers spoof email addresses. I dont
know if theres a way to send a over quota mesage to both the sender
and recepient or just make it an option to send to one or the other.
As of today I am making a bit of progress. I have changed 2 lines in my mailfilter like so
XBOUNCE="| bouncesaying '$EXT@$HOST is over quota'"
and the next line is what is used to look like
to "| bouncesaying '$EXT@$HOST is over quota'"
So now in my maildrop logs I am seeing
2006-12-14 08:27:43.160942500 ==== BEGIN maildrop processing for test@goodcleanemail.com ===
2006-12-14 08:27:43.172333500 message is clean

2006-12-14 08:27:43.178825500 === END === success
but I never get a bounce!
