    Angry exim not delivering mail to a mailbox with unlimited quota

    Hello,

    exim is not delivering mail to a sub-account (local delivery) of a reseller on our server, even though the account has unlimited as disk space quota. The account has only used 23 M disk space.

    Exim log/exim -qff output shows;

    2006-07-22 02:56:54 1G49es-0005MP-0b == email-address@domain.com R=virtual_user T=virtual_userdelivery defer (-22): mailbox is full (MTA-imposed quota exceeded while writing to tmp/1153551414.H793733P27083.mx1.domain.com)

    I have 139 such messages waiting to be delivered for this user.

    I tried changing the quota to 0 in /etc/quota.conf, I tried changing the quota through WHM. Nothing is working. I still get the same message.

    What's with exim?

    Default

    The MTA-imposed quota is the one set in cPanel for the individual mailbox, not the cPanel account.

    Lightbulb Perhaps documentation needs updating

    I have pdf versions of docs for;

    - cpanel
    - whm

    When I skimmed over and searched through the pdfs, there was no mention of it.

    I'll recommend, for the manual/docs to be updated with this piece of info in the troubleshooting section at least.
