Onderwerp: [Exim] Quota: exim vs. sendmail
After best experiences with exim on the central mailhubs we want to replace
sendmail by exim on the machines holding the user mailboxes.

During testing, we found that sendmail and exim behave different for user
mailboxes above quota (set on os level):

- sendmail immediatly generates an error message, saying "quota exceeded"
- exim     defers local delivery


Is there a way to tell exim to behave like sendmail ?

BTW, an appropriate retry rule may do it, but I haven't tried so far.
