quotas with sendmail problem

minor · 08-15-2001, 12:02 AM

I set the quotas in sendmail(/var/spool/mail/) and it working properly. But I try to receive e-mail from my e-mail client(outlook express) and he ask me a password( I already save in outlook express). And I type the password again and he also reject me. And I bypass it(of course can't get the mail) and to see the error message are "logon to server error occured. My password rejected, the server reply '-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Unable to copy mail spool file, quota exceeded (122)'" Am I config the quotas some wrong?

PS I am sure the password is correct

Hi,
do a "# repquota -a" to see which accout has exceed its quota. Or do a "# quota" whith the specific user sendmail uses and the mailusername.

Thanks for your reply! But my problem is can't get the mail to local. And the error message is "-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Unable to copy mail spool file, quota exceeded (122)". Have any suggestion?

Where do you get the error? On the outlook or the maillog of your linux? Look in all logs that might be related. messages, warn, mail ...
