Re: How to deliver mails in the stage directory after a crash ?

[Pierre POMES]

Hi, Thanks for the quick answer... Unfortunatly, my MTA did not retry any deliverey, but perharps it is due to a wrong design : 1) I am a using the default sendmail config file shipped with Redhat, without defining a cyrus mailer, since I want to continue to popultate other mailboxes than mine, in the standard unix mailbox format. 2)  For my personnal tests with Cyrus, in my home, I defined a .procmailrc file, which keeps a local copy in /var/spool/mail, and deliver mail in my cyrus folder using cyrdeliver. I think this setup is not good and can explain why the recover has not been done : sendmail should deliver directly with cyrdeliver, without using procmail. May you confirm this ? It would be probably easier to use another mail server to do my own tests...

Is there a way to retry the deliver of all theses mails ? These mails should automaticly be retried by your MTA. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
