for my case, a bounce mail will be mailed back to the sender to tell him the user's account is over-quota...but most probaly only sys admin are likely to understand the message..... ----- Original Message ----- From: <glarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2003 6:18 AM Subject: RE: Quota Problems Hattie, Thanks for your response in this matter. I still can not determine where the mail goes, I turned up the logging to 15 and I am going to try 99 next. I just cant find a single line that says what it does with it. It is all in hopes of getting warnquota to work so I/they would know before a I/they goes over quota. I will continue to search.
