Over quota notification

Hi all,
I would like to knowwhen someone sends an email to one of my users and they have overquota, the server does not send a notification saying that it could not delivery the message ....
Another notifications are sents, for example when the user does not exist, why?
Thanks for all

Hi,
Based on my research, here is a reference showing the quota message at great length:
http://msexchangeguru.com/2012/08/21/quota-warning/
In Exchange environments previous to Exchange 2010 SP1, Exchange sends a quota message to mailbox owners during the QuotaNotificationSchedule specified for each mailbox database.
During this period, Exchange goes through every mailbox in the database(s) and if any has exceeded the quota threshold, it sends the owner an e-mail. No matter if the schedule was 1h, 2h or 10h, as long as Exchange has enough time to go through every mailbox,
everyone over quota receives one warning message.
Since Exchange 2010 SP1, the QuotaNotificationSchedule is set to run for 15 minutes every day at 1AM. If you increase this to 2h, for example, your users
might receive more than one message at a time! I had cases where I had this set to run over 3h for testing purposes, and some users received 3 quota messages…

  • Friend's email "over quota"?

    I have an internet friend who uses an iCloud email, and recently my emails have been failing to deliver for the reason of "over quota." I think that means that her email is full or something similar. I can't contact her in any other way. Does iCloud give a notification that the email is full either on phone or computer (she doesn't seem to know what's going on and she uses her phone), and is there any other way to somehow "tell" her or improve the situation at all? I'm starting to get worried.

    She will receive and email saying her iCloud storage is almost full.
    Then when it is full she will receive and email saying her iCloud storage is full.
    This happened to me yesterday.
    I got the first email, I went to iCloud and deleted all the notes, and all emails pre-2014...
    Whereupon I received the second email.
    So then iCloud decided it would not let me empty the trash... where all the deleted emails had gone... "send report to apple?" yeah, go on then...
    Later I tried again... same happened...
    Upgraded my storage from 5 to 15Gb... hey presto, emptying trash works again! Oh but hang on, it now only says I have 8.1Gb left... there should be 10Gb at least, plus the amount 7 years of emails takes up?... hmmm... something is fishy... I'll let you know...
    Oh and as for System Preferences / iCloud / it's not actually available if you are using 10.6.8 but I'm old school like that.

  • Over quota configuration

    Hi
    We are using SJES6.2 Messaging and i want to configure the
    following things
    1) I want to send message to users if their mail quota reaches 90%
    2) I want to bounce the messages if User quota reaches 100%
    I yet configured:
    store.defaultmailboxquota = -1
    store.defaultmessagequota = -1
    store.folderquota.enable = no
    store.quotaenforcement = on
    store.quotaexceededmsg = "Subject: ATTENZIONE! Rischio di over quota. $ [ID] , $ $ la dimensione della tua casella di posta e' oltre il [PERCENT] della quota a te attribuita. $ Ti ricordiamo che tale quota e' di [QUOTA] . $ $ Cordiali saluti. $ Postmaster"
    store.quotaexceededmsginterval = 3
    store.quotagraceperiod = 1
    store.quotanotification = on
    store.quotawarn = 90
    store.typequota.enable = no
    Every user have his mailquota on LDAP.
    Why I don't receive the message when my quota is at 93%? :-(
    Thanks

    I've got just one server, then it is front end and storage.This simplifies things - a common mistake is changing the settings on the wrong system.
    I removed the store.folderquota.enable and the store.typequota.enable options with
    configutil -o store.folderquota.enable -d
    and
    configutil -o store.typequota.enable -dAs you are actually running MS6.3, these options are valid (they were added in MS6.3 hence why they were not valid when you were running MS6.2).
    I changed the store.quotaexceededmsginterval option, now it is 0.
    I restarted the store service (in documentation I didn't read I have to restart the store service...)The documentation doesn't always tell you whether you need to restart the store. It may be enough to run the "./refresh" command but if you are hitting problems its best to be sure by restarting.
    Now I have this output:
    [root@public23 ~]# imquotacheck -u <user>
    Name Quota(K) Usage(K) % Quota# Usage# % OverDate WarnDate
    <user> 10240 10012 97 35000 8 0 01/16/08 -Interesting, the WarnDate isn't set. I would expect this to be set as this indicates when a warning email/notification is sent.
    I notice that the Usage# is 8, this sounds like very few emails. Is this a test account?
    Note that it is the delivery of an email that triggers the store to check if the account is overquota/has gone overquota post-delivery and hence send a warning email.
    Have you sent a new email to the account post-store restart to see if this triggers the warning email?

  • I am being told I am 'over quota' and this software will not open my trash. I have been trying to copy things off my inboxes to trash and then to the archives.

    I cannot open my trash, it says it is now 'over quota'. I cannot even received emails if they are sent there!
    I have been trying to make my settings higher in the 'advanced' menu to no avail.
    I have been trying to move emails out of my INBOX to the trash and then to Archive subfolders but evidently EVERYTHING falls under this 'quota'. What the hell can I do? This is ridiculous, obscure and a terrible and extremely user-unfriendly software.

    What is the exact error message?
    Where is the message from, your email provider, or Thunderbird?
    What is your account type, POP or IMAP?

  • Blocking messages for over quota users from the frontend

    Dear All,
    Is there a way to bounce back messages from the frontend for users who are currently over quota instead of accepting the message, then routing it to the storage mailhost and then bouncing it from there? We have multiple storage mail hosts and multilpe inbound & outbound servers. All servers are running iMS 5.2 with latest patches. Due to the fact that most of the received messages are spam sent using fake addresses, bounce back messages queue up on the outboud mail servers until they expire.

    Hi,
    after reconstruct -q
    user/mmmm: fixed quota root usageThis can occur overtime. It is usually not a big issue. Does user 'mmmm' reflect one of the 'problem' users? If you run recontruct -q again, do you still get these messages?
    test user was able to receive mail again
    (mailuserstatus=active) until overquoted again. Than
    same thing happen (empty mailboxes overquoted users)Could you please provide the output for the test user for the commands I mentioned earlier (ldapsearch/imquotacheck).
    Is it a good idea to cron recontruct -q?This shouldn't be necessary. If your quota database keeps getting 'out-of-sync' then this would need to be investigated.
    During reconstruct -q we also got a number of these:
    [12/Dec/2006:02:47:19 +0100] store01
    reconstruct[14600]: General Error:
    set_overquotastatus: cannot get ldap attributes for
    user: xxxxxxDid the user in this example exist in the directory or are they 'orphan' accounts?
    Can you see an LDAP search (access logs) which correlates to this date stamp which returned an error?

  • Bounced mail, how to fix iCloud "over quota", and I am far from it?

    We switched from MobileMe to iCloud.  Each of us have individual iCloud.  Any mail sent to my wife is bounced, reason?  Over quota!  I have checked iCloud storage and she has 3.9 Gb available.  Have tried every thing, even went to "Genius Bar" to no avail.  Have been trying to call Apple for help, two time waited 20 minutes and got disconnected.  Now my wife is using her G-mail with iCloud.  Can't use iCloud.  Any help will be welcome.  Unless you have a solution, please don't bother.
    Thanks.

    Polly,
    usually there are multiple models of MacBook Pro per model number, but in the case of your model number (A1502), there’s currently only one model for that model number: 13-inch Late 2013.
    To reset your MacBook Pro, you’ll need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as you start it up. When the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk (most likely the top item of the list). On the right-hand side, select the Erase tab. For the Format dropdown, select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”. For the Name input box, “Macintosh HD” has traditionally been the default name — I don’t know if that’s still the case for the Late 2013 models. After that, press the Erase… button, and erase its entire internal disk. When it’s finished with the erasure, exit Disk Utility, and select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you start it up again, OS X Internet Recovery will redownload Mavericks from Apple’s servers and reïnstall it on your internal disk. Once it has reïnstalled, run Software Update to get it up to date, and adjust the System Preferences to your taste.

  • Cannot delete mail when over quota

    Hi there,
    I have mailbox quotas enabled on a 10.5.5 server, clients who go over 90% of quota get a mail each day telling them to delete mail etc, all seems to work fine in that respect.
    However, when they actually try to delete messages they receive the error: -
    The message "<message subject>" could not be moved to the mailbox "Deleted Messages - IMAP Account. The IMAP command "UID COPY" (to Deleted Messages) failed for the mailbox "INBOX" with server error: Over quota.
    I realise this is to do with deleted messages being set in mail preferences to be stored on the server, but since that is the default setting for new accounts, we have several hundred users, most of which would be incapable of changing the setting on their own (our users are children with learning difficulties).
    Is it possible to change this behaviour? I didn't see this problem under 10.5.4 but maybe it just wasn't reported.
    Or maybe a way to change each users deleted messages location setting via the WGM > Preferences > Details panel?
    Any advice much appreciated

    It doesn't look like it is possible via WGM to switch to a local trash mailbox. Adding com.apple.mail.plist and setting StoreTrashOnServer to "NO" in there appears to have no effect. I guess the next stop is to work out an xsl template we can use to modify each user's plist files directly. What fun.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Being over-quota never stopped users from moving items to trash, and then emptying the trash until now. Our server was previously 10.4.11, migrated (not upgraded) to 10.5.4 in July but only now, since 10.5.5 are we seeing this behaviour.

    Hello,
    I'll try to explain my problem (not that you did not understand, but my explanations may be long and difficult).
    I'm Lion 10.7.3 on iMac and I use Mail as my mail manager.
    My ISP (access , mails) is "VOO".
    At mail I am often "over quota" because the server VOO grants only 40M. I would like to address this problem. I contacted VOO but they tell me not to know and do not appear to increase capacity at the moment.
    My idea was:
    - All messages received at the server VOO would be automatically transferred to another address (eg ................. @me.com, my address icloud) whose capacity is much greater.
    - But the problem is that nothing is planned at the server level VOO to perform this maneuver!
    - Therefore, I turn to you to ask yourself the question, one of you has it you an idea, a suggestion, a solution?
    Any suggestion is welcome.
    Thank you in advance for taking the trouble to read and possibly to follow up my request.
    How do I ask to go and read icloud (permanently) my mail to another address, that of my server?
    Philippe (philippe.thiriet @ me.com)

    Thank you for your reply and the clarification it brings me.
    Voo is imap of course and does not provide the possibility of forwarder mails to another address.
    Since I use MAIL and I receive messages without any problems sent to me on my address icloud (............... @me.com) I think to ask all in my address book to send me on my address on icloud. Is it a good idea?
    Could you tell me how much space I have in icloud? 40M is the highest in VOO.
    Thank you for your help and for the time you devote to my problem.
    Philippe

  • Senders to my Email get "Over Quota" message

    Suspect "over quota" message senders are getting is a function of icloud backup.  How to get email working again? (Receiving; sending is working just fine).
    Have already deleted all but necessary messages, emptied trash, restarted ....  thanks for help!  KKRP

    It is a combination of how much email is avaiable on the server in all server stored mailboxes along with all other data stored with iCloud including your backup.
    With an IMAP account, you can store sent messages on the server as well as drafts and trash.

  • Mail user getting over quota error

    One of my mail clients is getting an "Over Quota" error message in their mail client, however, all clients have been set up to have unlimited storage. What could cause this error, and what can I do to resolve it? I can get the error to go away temporarily by setting a quota size, then changing it back to unlimited, but this is not a permanent solution. Thank You.

    Thanks Miriam! This has helped.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select account
    click on Advanced tab > tick box which says 'remove
    copy from server after retrieving a message'.
    I have a question about which box to tick after the one that says 'remove copy from server after retrieving a message' - is it necessary to keep it for any length of time, or should I just mark 'after one day'?
    Also, were you able to retrieve the messages that bounced back? Did they ever make it to the server? If so, how do I find those?
    Thanks so much!

  • I can't receive emails because I am over quota

    I reached my 5 GB quota and so received an email telling me so.  I disabled the iCloud backup of my mails.  I can't delete any more from iCloud and the problem is I am not receiving any new emails!  I don't understand why?  Why would it not allow me to receive emails (even if my "backup" is over quota?). 
    Thanks.

  • Over quota?

    I attempted to send a friend an email with a 973kb attachment today and shortly after, I received a message from postmaster @ mac.com telling me the message could not be delivered. The reason: Over quota. Is that on my end or on the recipient's end? Does that mean I can't send any more email from my dot mac account? I've never gotten this message before.

    Hello Fred.
    Are you aware that you can adjust the amount of server storage space allocated between email and your iDisk storage with your .Mac account and if so, how must storage space do you have allocated to email only?
    Are you storing sent messages on the server or locally on the hard drive with the Mail application which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for your .Mac account preferences?
    This error message sounds like it came from the recipient's incoming mail server so does this recipient have a .Mac account - an @mac.com email address?
    If not, the problem is on your end.

  • Exchange 2013 - Quota notifications problem

    Hello,
    First of all I want to express mild disappointment with the way quota notification alerts are documented on Technet for Exchange 2013. The only reference I could find is that QuotaNotificationSchedule parameter of the Set-MailboxDatabase cmdlet no longer
    does anything: "This parameter has been deprecated in Exchange 2013 and it no longer does anything.".
    The only other reference I could find is this forum post:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/f30bb2ca-91ab-4e69-a8b6-720e6a8a5b83/exchange-2013-quota-notification-message-not-sent-during-schedule?forum=exchangesvrgeneral
    where it says: "Quota messages are generated once the user log in to mailbox in exchange 2013."
    However, Microsoft Press published a book in 2013 "Inside Out: Microsoft Exchange Server 2013: Mailbox and High Availability" where QuotaNotificationSchedule parameter is being referenced as a working parameter which controls when Quota notification
    are being sent.
    My experience says that the forum post is correct.
    Now onto the problem.
    While our customer was still on Exchange 2010 they were the victims of this issue:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2480474/en-us which could easily be fixed with
    CheckWarningQuota registry key.
    Now we have migrated those mailboxes to Exchange 2013 and again, users are not receiving quota notification e-mails. Only a few users receive quota notifications e-mails and those are users that got their mailbox created on the new Exchange 2013 system.
    Migrated users do not receive notifications. We have tried CheckWarningQuota on Exchange 2013 but it does nothing. Our theory is that mailbox flag introduced in Exchange 2010 SP1 is migrated with the mailboxes to Exchange 2013 and is the
    reason why we are not receiving quota notifications again.
    I appreciate thoughts and comments.
    Regards,
    Dinko

    CU8 addresses this issue, however, only for mailboxes not yet moved to 2013: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/303695
    Mailboxes already moved will have to be manually fixed. The issue is they are missing their lcid (location ID). For whatever reason, the attribute does not make it across from 2010 to 2013. However, if you move the mailbox again to another 2013 database,
    it fills in the lcid automatically. That is one workaround, but not necessarily a good one for people who have migrated a ton of their users already. So what do you do?
    In the KB article, it shows you how to identify the users who are missing their LCID by doing the following in the exchange management shell:
    #first load in the ManagedStoreDiagnosticFunctions, you will need this for the get-storequery cmdlet to work.
    . .\'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Scripts\ManagedStoreDiagnosticFunctions.ps1'
    #then generate the list of all mailboxes with an LCID of 0.
    $mbxs = get-mailbox –resultsize unlimited| ? {$_.exchangeversion.exchangebuild.major -ge 15}
    $mbxsq = $mbxs | %{Get-StoreQuery -Database $_.database -query "select * from Mailbox where Mailboxguid = '$($_.ExchangeGuid)'"}
    $mbxsq | ? {$_.lcid -eq 0} |fl displayname, mailboxguid, lcid
    You can modify the script to dump the list to a text file if you need to.
    Now, to address this, I simply populated the lcid for all my mailboxes. All of mine were en-US or lcid 1033, so it was easy to set them all at once. I just grabbed all Exchange 2013 mailboxes and applied the language (en-US) and DateFormat (MM/dd/yyyy) to
    them (replace DOMAIN with your domain name) which in turn sets the lcid to 1033:
    $mailboxes = get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited| ? {$_.exchangeversion.exchangebuild.major -ge 15}
    ($mailboxes).SamAccountName| %{set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration "DOMAIN\$_" -Language en-us -DateFormat MM/dd/yyyy} | FT -a
    Incidentally, if you have already migrated all of your 2010 mailboxes, and you are on at least Exchange 2013 CU6, that script will resolve the issue whether you apply CU8 or not. CU8 fixes it for any other mailboxes that have not yet been migrated to 2013.
    Hopefully this help you out.
