VNM3043 -- MAILBOX IS FULL
The message cannot be delivered because the
recipient's mailbox contains the maximum number of
messages, as set by the system administrator. The
recipient must delete some messages before any
other messages can be delivered.
The maximum message limit for a user's mailbox is
10,000. The default message limit is 1000 messages.
Administrators can set message limits using the
Mailbox Settings function available in the
Manage User menu (MUSER).
When a user's mailbox reaches the limit, the
user must delete some of the messages before
the mailbox can accept any more incoming messages.

Here's my thought: It seems that reverse-engineering, while certainly a
sneaky thing to do, is something that might benefit those of us poor souls
who aren't adept at programming. After all, are we in competition, or are we
trying to establish a standard?

Since I love hearing responses to my postings anywhere, I'm curious, Mary
Jane O'Connell, what was your actual message? I hope it wasn't the above
"Mailbox is full". That would seem to me to be some sort of Situationist Dada
flame. If it is, I accept it willingly- that's a pretty damn cool way to
flame someone. If it's merely a technical mistake, I hope you'll repost your
actual message.
