Where do email go after inode limit is reached?

[cloudlinux]

So for example, a cPanel user reaches soft / hard inode limit and they can no longer create email account(s) or even receive email. What happens to the email? Are the emails added to a queue, bounced or what?

Thanks in advance and appreciate your response.

Hello @Webmaster,

You can configure how Dovecot will respond when a system disk quota or mailbox disk quota prevents delivery with the following option in WHM >> Mailserver Configuration:

Disk Quota Delivery Failure Response

The default behavior is to reject the message permanently. Let me know if you have any questions about how this works.

Thank you.
