Hi,

Actually what I meant to ask is that. Typically, mail servers will rebound
an email message to the sender with a meaningful message along the line like
"Mail could not be delivered as user have exceeded storage quota". But when
I simulate the same situation to the cobalt/neomail box, as a sender, the
only message I've gotten was the one below. This email reply should be given
to the recipient, but instead it was sent to me (which is the sender). And
it took about 2 hours also for the message to be generated.

I'm not even sure if it was a message generated by the box because the
recipient and sender fields are all empty and checking the mail header, it's
empty as well. Is there a setting in Neomail / Cobalt that I can modify this
kind of error message?

Regards,
Diana

I think you have to wait for cron (swatch) to check quotas.

Try "repquota -a to get a report of all
Or "repquota -a | grep the_user"
Data is 
User     used    soft    hard  grace    used  soft  hard  grace

Hi,

Btw, I've been digging for this in the archives but can't seem to find much
information about it. I set the quota for a user to be at 5mb and sent some
mails with attachment till it's about 2mb utilised. So I sent another test
mail which is about 2.5mb big. But when added, it should overshoot the 5mb
quota. The mail should obviously be returned to sender but I didn't get
anything, nor is it in my Cobalt mailbox. Am I missing some configurations
here?

Thanks!
Diana
