I'll just add to this that it is rather trivial to check which part was failing. If mail is tempfailed by MIMEDefang, than sendmail will log only single line that it is tempfailing message: Milter: data, reject=retrun code") If mail is tempfailed by sendmail because MIMEDefang took too long, you'll see these three lines in sendmail logs: Milter (mimedefang): timeout before data read Milter (mimedefang): to error state data, reject=451 4.7.1 Please try again later If MIMEDefang took too long, and sendmail is accepting the mail (since F=T was ommited), you'll see first two lines, and than a line saying that mail was accepted. -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7 _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
