Stupid Email Servers and Standards Ignored
Ok, I'm pissed.
Every time I need to deal with sending newsletters I end up dealing with a bunch of broken mail servers. These never return an error that is usable. I love my exim mail servers at least they know how to stick to a standard, I guess this is what also makes it a little harder for new admins to start handling email. I guess, if you don't know what you are doing please just stop and go away and leave our net in a working state...!!!!....
Ok, here is a group of messages that all say the user is over quota;
Good:
