My setup is as follows

MTA = Sendmail
LDA = procmail (Using Maildirs)

My /home dir (Where the Maildirs are is on hdc1 and has quota enabled
and my boot drive is on hda1 with quotas off

I have installed "edquota" which works great my only boggle is that when an email comes in for someone over quota procmail tries to deliver the email to /home/user/Maildir however of course it can't deliver it because of the full quota but instead of bouncing the message it then delivers it to /var/spool/mail/user (On the hda1 with quotas off)
Instead of bouncing

I have been reading some forums and it seems there is a line I need to put in the procmail config to get it recognize the quotas and bounce the mail, anyone know best way to do this?

Thanks
