題目: [EXIM] Bouncing mail > users quota?

Ok, we have now had exim running on our mail hub for several months and all
is fine. I am now looking at putting it onto our many mail client machines.

We have a slight problem this year with users emailing massive files to
each other which then get stuck in the queue for days with no hope of
ever being delivered. What I would like to do is bounce any email that is
larger than the recipients disk quota immediatly with a suitable error.

The appendfile quota option is close but seems to be slightly more limited
than I want - and I dont use the appendfile transport on all machines - some
use procmail so I don't think i can use it (or can I?)

I really want to use the system quotas but an extra user -> quota database
would be acceptable I guess...

Is there any way to do this? I suppose I could write something to check the
queue occasionally and bounce problem messages but i would like to prevent
then being queued in the first place if possible - it dosn't take many
100Meg emails to fill the spool dir on some of our machines!

Thanks,

Darren
