Hi,
I am using procmail as MDA for postfix.
When a recipient is over quota, the message is bounced with:
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system
<st109811(_at_)cs(_dot_)ait(_dot_)ac(_dot_)th>: can't create user output
file. Command output:
procmail: [49636] Wed May 26 17:18:05 2010 procmail: Assigning
"HOME=/home/corse/st109811" procmail: Assigning
"ORGMAIL=/home/corse/st109811/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning
"DEFAULT=/home/corse/st109811/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning
"LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail" procmail: Opening "/var/log/procmail"
I believe the first part if from postfix, while the second part is the
error returned by procmail (it includes procmail variables, that is
why I think it is generated by procmail).
While I could detect the over quota earlier, in postfix or in a
recipes, the recipient may have a user's procmail.rc that causes the
message to be forwarded mailbox that has no quota problem. So I must
wait the actual attempt to write to disk to get an error.
Is there a way to rewrite the error message part of procmail to get
something more meaningful?
TIA,
Olivier
