    How do I reject messages at smtp time when an email account is over quota. I don't want to send backscatter / fill my queue with undeliverable email.

    Bonus points for rejecting when the main account is over quota as well.

    Hello :)

    You can disable the following option under the "Mail" tab in "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Exim Configuration Manager" if you want to prevent the bounce email from sending out:

    "Bounce email for users over quota"

    This option was renamed per internal case number 51362. Here is a quote from that case:

    More information on this is available at the following third-party URL:

    Thank you.
