NAME

deliverquota - deliver to a maildir with a quota

SYNOPSIS

deliverquota [-c] [-w percent ] [-W filename ] { maildir } { quota }

DESCRIPTION

deliverquota delivers mail to a maildir taking into account any software-imposed quota on the maildir. This manually-enforced quota mechanism is described in the maildirquota (7) [1] and maildirmake (1) [2] manual pages. Instead of setting up your mail server to deliver the message directly to a maildir, configure the mail server to run the deliverquota program in order to deliver the message, and specify the location of the maildir as the argument to deliverquota .

The second argument to deliverquota is optional. If present, quota specifies a new quota setting for this maildir. Specifying quota is equivalent to running maildirmake (1) [2] with the -q option. The second argument to deliverquota is considered obsolete, and may be removed in the future.

deliverquota reads the message from standard input and delivers it to maildir . maildir may specify a path directly to a maildir folder, not the main maildir (as long as the folder was created by the maildirmake (1) [2] command.

The -c option automatically creates the maildir, and all missing parent subdirectories (as ' mkdir -p '). This option should be used with caution.

The -w N option places a warning message into the maildir if the maildir has a quota setting, and after the message was successfully delivered the maildir was at least N percent full. The warning message is copied from the file specified by the -W option, or from /etc/courier/quotawarnmsg if -W was not specified. The "Date:" and "Message-Id:" headers are added to the message. The warning is repeated every 24 hours (at least), until the maildir drops below N percent full.

RETURN CODE

deliverquota delivers the message to the maildir and terminates with exit code 0 if the message can be delivered without going over quota.

If the maildir is over its specified quota: the maildrop version of deliverquota terminates with an exit code 77 (EX_NOPERM); the Courier version of deliverquota terminates with an exit code 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL).
