Sorry, I promise to be better next time :) Anyway, maybe I need to explain further...I think the point was missed. Its not whether mail.local has the ability to report error codes/status, its whether sendmail has the ability to read and interpret the error codes. I just mentioned a wrapper because it would be easier than hacking mail.local source. The wrapper would be called initially instead of mail.local. It would check the size of the mail box and if it is over a certain size (maybe from a file called /etc/mail.quota) it would return an error back to sendmail...if its okay, then mail.local would be run as normal. I think this would be easier than setting up a separate quota system for /var or installing another MTA like qmail if all you want to do is enable some sort of mail quotas. -Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of N > Sent: Friday, September 03, 1999 9:42 PM > To: freebsd-isp > Subject: Re: Quotas and Mail Spool > > > Andy Angrick wrote: > > > Question..does (or can) mail.local report any errors back to > sendmail?
