I am using Procmail v3.22 as LDA, Sendmail 8.11.6 as MTA on Redhat 
Linux 7.3 where Quota is applied on the /var/mail/ partion. When the 
quota of user is reached to max limit system did not pass error to 
the end user and I got the bellow error in my /var/log/maillog file. 

tail /var/log/maillog:

Aug  5 11:47:15 deus sendmail[18106]: h755lDq18102: to=mahmood,

stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/bin/procmail) 
exited with EX_TEMPFAIL

Please advice how can I fix this error. Thanks in advance.

I suspect procmail is being called with the -t option, which
essentially says that sendmail should fail "softly" on a procmail
error.  In this case, it actually will try to keep delivering the
message.  To cause a bounce, edit the procmail line in your
sendmail.cf and remove the -t option from it.

Also, if anyone is interested, I have a warning script written in perl
that emails users who start to push their quota.
