Wrong quota information - TEMPORARY SOLVED; explanation needed, please.

["sato x" <gladiol4@gmail.com>]

Hi guys...

The last time I sent emails, I was struggling with these problem 

 - could send simple mails (mails without attachments) to my own account

 - could not send to my own address emails with attachment as big as 51 kB, for example

 - BUT could send the same email with attachment to another address


A couple hours ago I found out that a lot of emails were stuck in the queue 


[root@mail qmail]# ./bin/qmail-qstat

messages in queue: 34

messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

and 
[root@mail qmail]# ./bin/qmail-qread
17 Apr 2007 04:08:26 GMT  #1635783  2327650  <#@[]>
        local   postmaster@mail.domain.com

19 Apr 2007 23:00:01 GMT  #1635094  646  <anonymous@mail.domain.com>
        local   root@mail.domain.com

22 Apr 2007 21:02:03 GMT  #1635095  1072  <root@mail.domain.com>
        local   root@mail.domain.com
22 Apr 2007 00:38:47 GMT  #1635230  3877  <>  local   root@mail.domain.com
...etc

Then I ran some commands:
echo postmaster@domain.com > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
echo postmaster@domain.com > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon
echo postmaster@domain.com > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-tcpok
svc -a
/service/qmail                         
## qmail-send

Seconds later all the emails in the queue came into the
postmaster@domain.com maildir and now I can send email with
attachment(s) to my address. :)

I can understand why the Mailer-daemon mails go into postmaster@domain.com maildir, but what I can not understand is 

(first) why those emails for root were sent through the qmail-ldap
server (I mean, why did they sit in the queue)? Even the reports about
Cron Daemon were sent to postmaster. I know that I can prevent that
happen by erase postmaster's mail address in the ~alias/.qmail-root
file, but I don't want them sitting in the queue either. I have defined
the value for ~control/queuelifetime, but it doesn't help.  How
can I resolve that? 

(second) what did the conjunction between all those emails with my
mail(sato@domain.com) quota since they weren't meant for me? By the
time postmaster received them all, my quota problem was dissapeared as
well. Confusing, heh?

Any help/explanation would be appreciated. Thank you very very much.


Best regards,
