Hi there,
We are using Exim 2.12 on Solaris 2.51. We have had several cases where a
user has misconfigurated his/her .forward file so that any received email
producing hundreds of bounces to that user hence totally filling
/var/mail. We are also, despite our best attempts to prevent this - i.e.
moving oversized mailboxes elsewhere, finding that users are having
mailboxes of ever increasing size.
Unforunately setting max_message_size and mailbox quotas are going to
very political. Is there a way we can configure Exim so that if free
space on /var/mail drops below a certain level, Exim will email our mail
administrators, and will starting queuing mail for local users, instead
of delivering them?
I had a look through the Exim specification and FAQ but could not see any
Exim options which dealt with the size of the mail spool.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
