email failure- user over quota?

[nemesis]

An email to one of our message board members has come back undeliverable twice, with the error:
<ghjnj@yahoo.com>:
128.11.**.*** failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 552 qdirdel.1 error 100:User is over the quota.[nbsp][nbsp]You can try again later. I've never seen this before. At first we thought that *we* were over an outgoing message quota, but all our other messages have been sent fine. Does yahoo mail have some sort of maximum on how many messages they can receive?

Nope, this isn't FutureQuest's error :)

It does mean that the person you tried to send it to has a full mail box.[nbsp][nbsp]Until they delete some messages no mail will get through.[nbsp][nbsp]What the exact quota's are I don't know but the message does mean they have reached the max.

I figured as much, but wanted to be sure. Thanks for the quick reply! :)

Yahoo's max. for a user is 3MB if I remember correctly.[nbsp][nbsp]That person must be a major pack rat or really popular ;)[nbsp]

For what it's worth, I have been with Rocketmail for two or three years now.[nbsp][nbsp]This past year, they officially switched over to Yahoo mail.[nbsp][nbsp]Very little changed, except for one easy to miss item:[nbsp][nbsp]Rocketmail used to clear out the trash folder every day or two, but Yahoo mail apparently never clears it automatically.[nbsp][nbsp]This can make a drastic difference in how fast your account fills up, if you're not paying attention.
