LO89978: SMTP RESPONSE "452 4.2.2 MAILBOX FULL" SHOULD NOT PREVENT DELIVERY OF OTHER MAILS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When attempting to transfer a mail to a user whose mailbox is
  full, Exchange can respond with "452 4.2.2 Mailbox full". This
  error is specific to an individual user and should not prevent
  other mails being transferred to that server.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is that the intent was to stop router to continue
   to transferto a destination server with a "452 "4.2.2 Mailbox
   Full"  transient error if there is no space hence the first
   452 error will prevent further attempts on the connection to
   prevent other mails being transferred to that destination
   server.  However there was case where the 4.2.2 Mailbox Full"
   error was per recipient error and not a generic server
   mail.box error then it would make sense to continue to route
   other messages.  The fix is to provide a capability with a
   controlled ini "RouterContinueOnPerMessageError" to allow
   router to continue to route other messages in this case if the
   controlled ini ""RouterContinueOnPerMessageError" was set.
