Postfix reject incoming messages while been sent

[Sysadm_07]

When I try to send a message to an user (who belongs to my domain) with his mailbox full, I receive a warning before the mail is sent.

I would like that it would accept the message (even if the mailbox is full) and later receive a warning. How can I do it?

Use one of the classic BOFH methods:

- write a procmail recipe that deletes enough mail from his inbox to
make space for the new message.

- delete his mail account.

- use your clue-stick[*] to teach the user to read his mail.


You can't do much else: if the box is full there's nothing you can do
with the message except reject it. Making the mailbox bigger isn't a
solution, merely a delaying tactic.

[*] where clue-stick = electric cattle prod. Every BOFH has one.
