it is of course possible that you / Philip are using a
different meaning of the words `over' and `quota' to the
one I am!

But I don't think that's the case here; I think your
previous explanation -- that Philip has convenient to
suppress external mailer activity by advertising a
temporary error condition as permanent -- is the true one.
Pretence of this type obviously does not actually make the
error condition a permanent one.
