Life sucks if the mail server 421's you when you don't have local storage.....
Agreed. :-) Hopefully the gateway in question has:
(1) Got the SMTP conversation up to DATA / 354 before giving off the
"beep" that everyone expects before leaving a message - preferably even
before playing the initial greeting, so 421's from load, etc, can be
caught as early as possible.
(2) Some form of "System error" message it can then play at the person
trying to leave the message.
