>Description:
Users can receive mail well over their hard space limit. I'd like to be able to stop this from happening. /var/spool/mail is on it's own partition, so I thought I could apply a quota to prevent users from getting mailbombed, and also from just saving too much mail on the server.

repquota shows the correct amount used, and will even show them going over the hard limit, but sendmail still dumps more data in their mail file.

Is this a bug? Probably not, but it's not really consistant behavior, as nearly every other service will stop when their limit is reached.

>How-To-Repeat:
Enable quotas, and send a ton of mail to a user with very little space left.
