Every so often, there is a glitch in my outbound SMTP feed.
I just upgraded to DNEWS 5.7c1.
Before, local posts that could not be fed out to the SMTP server just appeared in the
spool subdirectory as ASCII plain text. I could then "rescue" them by sending
them to the shell account I use for reposting.
Or, I could just wait, and they would eventually be fed out to the SMTP server
when the connection was up.
But over the last day or so, there have been several local posts, and only a
few of them appeared as text files. And when the connection came up, only
those few got fed out.
Anybody have any suggestion as to where I can find the missing ones?
It sounds to me like they may be getting sent to the smtp server and then
dropped or it's possible it's dropping it due to the response from the smtp
server. Really you need to try and capture a failure in dnews.log so we can see
if it's being rejected or accepted when it vanishes.
