There is no easy way to check for quotas before receiving the entire message, and by then the sending SMTP server is waiting for a quick response to her DATA command. Since local delivery might take a while, the only sensible thing to do is to accept the message anyway, even if it exceeds the user quota in a short while. The deferred notices are probably some silly notification system that tries to play smart. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
