mailbox full error message

Dear Eli_ch,

Edit the configure file. Add the following entries,
To warn at a certain percentage and the message that will be sent to the owner of the mailbox:
quota_warn_threshold = 75%
quota_warn_message =\"\\
To: $local_part@$domain\\n\\
Subject: Warning - Almost out of email space\\n\\
This is an automated email.\\n\\
\\n\\
The storage space used by your email has \\
almost exceeded the allowed limit.\\n\\
Please delete some emails, especially those \\
with attachments, to free up space.\\n\\
Otherwise email will stop being delivered \\
until you do so.\\n\"

Regards,

 

Where do I modify the exim.conf file?

I've made mods in:

/etc/exim.conf
/etc/exim.conf.dist
/etc/exim.conf.localopts

and they all get overwritten with some magical exim.conf file that is hidden somewhere.

Thanks,
Brad

 

Any changes you want to be permanent should be made through the exim advanced configuration script in WHM. This will stop upcp from over writting your custom directives.

 

Thanks, this is just what I'm looking for (in fact it's kind of shocking that quota_warn emails aren't generated by default - I can't believe I have to tweak settings to enable this -- having customer emails suspended without warning is unacceptable, or so say my customers, and I have to say I agree).

Anyway, i added the quota_warn lines shown above, but got an "Invalid configuration syntax" error on exim restart. Wasn't quite sure which section of the exim config I should add it to.

Suggestions? Thanks.
