Hi,
I`m using iRedMail to keep a backup of my email.
The mail is downloaded using fetchmail and distributed to local iRedMail instance.
While checking the settings etc. the test user exceeded its quota and started bouncing the incoming emails with "Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)" mail.
I want to disable the mail as this is just a backup and at some point it will go over the quota. I`m still receiving the emails on my pc.
I`m new at this and after searching for a day sad I found out only that there is a option in Dovecot "quota_exceeded_message" that will supply the sending users with custom message. Still I don`t want to send message at all.

Any help will be appreciated.

Login to iRedAdmin, set this user's mailbox quota to 0 (unlimited).

What will happen when the disk is full?

If disk is full, almost all services will stop serving.
