[lug] Max mail queue size

[John Karns]

For the first time, I received a msg that the mail had bounced due to an
overflow of my mail box.  I believe that this was generated by my linux
system while fetching mail from my ISP.  I am using sendmail version 8.9.3
and fetchmail version 5.0.3+POP2.  However, I have been unable to find
anything in man pages or config files which seems to provide information
on how this is set.  Anyone have an idea?

The bounce msg:

Subject: you are over quota

At least one incoming message was returned to the sender because it would
have put your mailbox over quota.  The first such message was 1354688
bytes in size, and you only have 375804 bytes left in your mailbox.  
(Your mailbox quota is 5120000 bytes.)  To fix this situation, you should
delete some of the mail in your mailbox.
