deliver -q won't ignore quotas

[Robert Covell]

So the "IGNOREQUOTA" does not pertain to my situation?  I am seeing the same
that Jamie was, in that our system messages for over quota are getting
bounced because they are over quota.  For example when our quota checker ran
this morning we got:


The original message was received at Tue, 15 Jun 2004 23:00:05 -0500 (CDT)
from localhost.rolet.com [127.0.0.1]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<johns at xxxxxxxx.com>
    (reason: 552 5.2.2 Over quota)

How would we address this situation using the "-q"?

Thanks,
-Bob
