Re: procmail+sendmail quota warning system?

yeah I have thousands of boxes but still then the problem would be so that
if the user is already overquota he cant get the email generated by the
script. he could become overquota in a few hours.

This is not something that Procmail would handle.  Procmail merely
handles the delivery, and if the delivery fails because of an exceeded
quota, procmail will assist sendmail in generating a response message
explaining the failure.  But if the delivery does *not* fail, procmail
really isn't paying attention to the user's quota.

You probably want such a warning to be sent by a script that runs once
a day and looks at the quota for each user.  It shouldn't be a problem
to run something like that every day, unless you want to do this on a
system with hundreds of thousands of mailboxes.

Hello,
Is it possible to make procmail work like so that
when the user is low in quota he/she will receive a
quota warning? (not the sender of the email also the receiver)
