Being verbose in error messages
Just an FYI to the group, this is what we've come up with for one of our clients' configurations of qmail-notify. qmail-notify notifies senders that their E-mail did not reach the intended recipient within a certain amount of time and optionally CC's the network administrator (which it is configured to do in this case): -x- Your message has been received by %s but has been undeliverable to the listed recipients for at least %s. The mail system will continue to attempt to deliver your message to these recipients for a total of %s. Your network administrator is aware of this situation. This message is for your information; you do not need to resend your message at this time. If the message below is time-critical, consider faxing or calling the intended recipient. You will be notified again only if this message ultimately fails to reach one or more of the recipients. Recipient(s): -x- This _may_ finally be verbose enough to keep the users from E-mailing their mail administrator with "Julie didn't get my E-mail yet!" -- Michael T.

Re: Error messages and logging
Actually, we slightly altered your script (from qmail.org) to do the inode magic. The problem was with user and group ownership. Still, for other qmail problems I have wanted to configure qmail to log more information and was unable to figure out how. Has anyone done this sucessfully? -Marc == Seen on /.: If Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windows crashed... ..oh wait, he does. == On Wed, 29 Sep 1999, Harald Hanche-Olsen wrote: + The Green Avenger [EMAIL PROTECTED]: | I tried to move a queue on to a separate drive recently, and I am saw the | following error messages in the syslog.

Re: qmail and smtp error messages
The dynamic DNS registration is only mapping your forward lookup (name-IP). I believe the problem is that AOL and mindspring are doing reverse lookups (IP-name) which of course return the fact that you are sending from a dialup IP from sprint.net. The simple fix is to use Sprints SMTP server as a relay for all mail going to AOL and mindspring. Others may have better suggestions. That's the best I can come up with. :) On Tue, 4 May 1999, Jason wrote: im running qmail 1.03 on a redhat 6.0 machine and was formerly running qmail 1.01 on redhat 5.2.. ive got a "dedicated" dial-up connection to the internet with dynamic dns to register my hostname (welsh.dynip.com) i can send and receive smtp mail just fine except to a few domains.. mindspring.com, and aol.com.

Congratulations, you're a martyr in the War on Spam. You suffer so others don't have to. Thanks for the sacrifice. The spamically correct thing for you to do is configure your qmail to send everything out through your ISP's mail hub. -Dave
