DELIVERQUOTA(8)						       DELIVERQUOTA(8)

NAME
       deliverquota - deliver to a maildir with a quota

SYNOPSIS
       deliverquota [ -c ] [ -w percent ] maildir quota

DESCRIPTION
       deliverquota  delivers  mail to a maildir taking into account any soft‐
       ware-imposed quota on the maildir.  This manually-enforced quota mecha‐
       nism  is	 described  in	the  maildirquota(7) and maildirmake(1) manual
       pages.  Instead of setting up your mail server to deliver  the  message
       directly	 to  a	maildir,  configure  the mail server to run the deliv‐
       erquota program in order to deliver the message, and specify the	 loca‐
       tion of the maildir as the argument to deliverquota.

       The  second  argument  to  deliverquota is optional.  If present, quota
       specifies a new quota setting for this maildir.	 Specifying  quota  is
       equivalent  to  running	maildirmake(1) with the -q option.  The second
       argument to deliverquota is considered obsolete, and may be removed  in
       the future.

       deliverquota  reads  the message from standard input and delivers it to
       maildir.	 maildir may specify a path directly to a maildir folder,  not
       the   main   maildir  (as  long	as  the	 folder	 was  created  by  the
       maildirmake(1) command.

       The -c option automatically creates the maildir, and all missing parent
       subdirectories  (as  'mkdir -p').  This option should be used with cau‐
       tion.

       The -w N option places a	 warning  message  into	 the  maildir  if  the
       maildir	has  a	quota  setting, and after the message was successfully
       delivered the maildir was at least N percent full.  The warning message
       is  copied  verbatim  from  /etc/quotawarnmsg  with the addition of the
       "Date:" and "Message-Id:" headers.  The warning is  repeated  every  24
       hours (at least), until the maildir drops below N percent full.

RETURN CODE
       deliverquota  delivers  the  message to the maildir and terminates with
       exit code 0 if the message can be delivered without going over quota.

       If the maildir is over its  specified  quota,  deliverquota  terminates
       with exit code 77 (EX_NOPERM).
