Hey there,

i need some help with custom quota messages with dovecot and postfix.

The quota setup is clear and easy, now i want to manipulate the exceed message, which is generated, if the mailbox is full.

Now i got something like that

Your message to <user@my.server.com> was automatically discarded:

Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)

The first line – so i think – is generated from postfix and cant be edit or? The second line is generatet from dovecot and i can manipulate there with the „quota_exceeded_message“ variable.

My problem is, that the sender cant see the mail-adress where he originally send the mail. Because the ‚user‘ is an local user on my server. I need somethin like that:

Your message to <peter.schmidt@schmidt.com> was automatically discarded:

Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)

Is there an way to manipulate the first line of answer?

Ori s there an way, that i can run a custom script in the „quota_exceeded_message“ var? With the latter variant i would be able to create something like:

Your message to <user@my.server.com> was automatically discarded:

Quota exceeded (mailbox for user <peter.schmidt@schmidt.com> is full)

But configurations like „quota_exceeded_message = script /my/script.sh“ wont execute the script.

Does anybody have an idea?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Yours sincerely

Pascal Rudolf
