Hi,
I've installed a astaro firewall beta 2 and upgrade to the latest version few days ago.
Today when I came back to my office, I've found my firewall kept shutdown itself a few minutes later after I reboot it.
So I logon through the console and found out the /var/chroot-smtp partition is full.
I checked the /var/log/mail and found following repeated messages :
Aug 9 00:02:09 mail qmail: 997315329.652054 starting delivery 124916: msg 62 to local postmaster@mail.sjs.edu.hk

Aug 9 00:02:17 mail qmail: 997315337.149450 end msg 48
Also there is a lot bounce messages queue up at /var/chroot-smtp/var/qmail/queue/mess/.
After removed all bounce message, the firewall seems back to normal now.
I have following questions/requests:
1. The firewall kept shutdown itself when I tracking the above problem at the console. How can I turn off this auto shutdown feature cause it is very annoying ?
2. My DNS has a MX record which point to the external ip address of my firewall. I've turn off the SMTP proxy on the firewall machine and setup a DNAT to forward all mail to my internal SMTP server. This is fine for mail coming from Internet. However, when the firewall itself generate a notify mail. The mail will not delivery and bounce back to the firewall machine. Following is an example:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.sjs.edu.hk.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.sjs.edu.hk.
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.
:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)
