User disk quota exceeded, warning email wont be delivered

[myH2Oservers]

Directadmin sends out an email if the users harddisk space is full, but the email won't be delivered since the space is full So the user will not recieve the warning and his account will be suspended without any warnings.

Hi,
We noticed that you are in violation with the quotasystem
used on this system. We have found the following violations:

[....]

We hope that you will cleanup before your grace period expires.

Basically, this means that the system thinks you are using more disk space
on the above partition(s) than you are allowed.  If you do not delete files
and get below your quota before the grace period expires, the system will
prevent you from creating new files.

Since i dont think this is how it is ment to be: would it be an option to send this warning to the user his emailadres in stead of the situation it is now.

I can only recommend to a user that his contact email is not one setup on the system he's using. Another example is if you suspend his account for some reason. You won't have any way to contact him.

Or.. is that the exim warning message? The text itself isn't ours, so I'm assuming you're referring to the inbox quotas on just one account?
If that's the case, then you can tweak the exim quotas however you want.

eg, edit your /etc/exim.conf, find the line that has "quota =" in it, and right after that, add:

quota_warn_threshold = 75%

save, exit, and restart exim. This will give the user a warning at 75% usage. The default when the value isn't there is 0 .. so I can't really see how warning was sent in the first place...

The user his emailaddress is a gmail address, thats why i dont understand it in the first place. I will change the exim config and see if that works
