This is quite possibly the nicest (if not factually flawed) canned e-mail message I have ever received.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail1.***.net. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. please contact support@***.com with questions or concerns

***@***.COM:
The users mailfolder is over the allowed quota (size). (#5.2.2)

Polite and sincere, but since when is an over quota failure permanent? I mean, even if the account holder is dead, there is a slight chance that somewhere, somehow the messages could be retrieved.

Right?
