exim always writes a return message.
ist there somthing in the log that exim wants to write back an could not
for som reason?
eg:
msgid of the return msgid of the message
^ ^
15IiZe-0007tZ-00 <= <> R=15IiZb-0007tF-00
waht says exim -d9 when you send a message to the a full mailbox.

you only get a message when exim is able to deliver a message that fits

normally message_size_limit is much smaller than the quota so this
