Hi thanks for your quick reply we are building a web system that permits the
sending of mail to a user defined mailling list for each of the contacts on
the mailling list we send one mail ex : ([EMAIL PROTECTED] ->
[EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] , ... ) for
this we use a foreach that iterates the recipeints array
We use sendmail to send the mail , I was hopping it was possible to have a
relation between each mail we send and the log generated for that mail to
get reports back to the webapp that could confirm for example virus found ,
email sucessfull , email rejected etc etc , but when i go to the logs e
cannot associate de log line with the sendmail command that generated that
log , i dont know if im explain myself well but :
1 - sendmail , to send the mail
2 - sendmail reports to syslog
3 - syslog inserts records in mysql database
In the table that holds the logs it is impossible to know what logs belong
to waht sendmail command
I was hopping the following beahviour for postfix
1 - the script executes sendmail
2 - sendmail returns back a unique code for that mail
3 - sendmail and the other programs report to syslog status of that
mail always prependend with that code
4 - we go to the database and select all line logs belonging to th
individual sendmail command executed by referencing the unique code
I dont seem to find this behaviour if is not implemented we are willing to
hack the source but only in last resort
Once again sorry my english

The queueid is unique.

What do you want to relate?
What do you want to do?
