Send a immediate email when the Quota is exceeded
Send a immediate email when the Quota is exceeded
- This article is a Work in Progress, and may be unfinished or missing sections.
Purpose
Zimbra Collaboration, by default, saves email for 5 days if the quota of a mailbox is exceeded. Zimbra then sends the email to the recipient if (during this time) the mailbox has space. This can be a huge a problem if you have thousands of mailboxes. In this KB, we will drop an error email when the Mailbox is full without saving it in any queue.
Resolution
Run the next command in the MTA Server. Like zimbra user
zmprov mcf zimbraLmtpPermanentFailureWhenOverQuota TRUE
The error message will appear immediately
