Speed up quota report with Procmail running on Ensim

dimsh · 11-13-2005, 03:56 AM

Hi,

I have Ensim Pro 4.0.3-22 running on FC2, I have created many Name Based Sites, with their users and email,FTP, and SSH support for every user.

I set the user quota to 5MB for example, and the problem is that the report for an over quota user that returns to sender takes about 2 to 3 hours.

I have seen mail providers (hotmail and others) which report an overquota user instantly, I think it is Sendmail and/or Procmail issue,
and I need to implememt fast overquota report. any help ?

When user1 sends an email to user2

user1 receive the following email after 2 to 3 hours:

Quote:

The original message was received at Tue, 8 Nov 2005 14:01:35 +0200
from root@localhost

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<user2@domain.com>
(reason: Deferred)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
procmail: Quota exceeded while writing "/var/mail/user2"
<user2@domain.com>... Deferred: local mailer (/usr/bin/procmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL
Message will be deleted from queue

I think the sender is procmail

mmm. do u use procmail script to check the users quota? or u need to recheck ur ensim config.

Ensim automatically calculate users quota, i do not use any thing for it,

But need it to report Over quota user instantly, I think procmail keep the message in the queue for the over quot-ed user in hope he frees some space soon. This behaviour is not good for most users, and i need to override it.
