Yes; the messages are gone. Thanks in advance for any help, pointers, info, etc.. You may want to look at using nullmailer instead of a mini-qmail installation. nullmailer was written by Bruce Guenter (vmailmgr and many other qmail-related goodies) -- it's inspired by the qmail design, but is of course much simpler, as it is a relay-only MTA. The relevant advantage here is that it includes a queue for reliability -- it would have prevented these lost messages, for instance. You can find it by looking at http://em.ca/~bruceg/ .

I messed up my QMQP Client Config...
Hello All, I made a stupid mistake and left a QMQP Client machine with a bad IP in the qmqpservers file. I'm re-reading the Installing mini-qmail doc on http://cr.yp.to/qmail/mini.html and if I am reading it correctly, I'm screwed when it comes to getting those messages back. Am I right? There was only about 10 messages that should have been generated today and I can grab the info out of the MySQL DB and manually generate the E-Mails, but I'd like to know, more from a learning perspective than anything. Thanks in advance for any help, pointers, info, etc.. Tyrone UNIX is user-friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are... winmail.dat

It's the same as qmail-inject returning a non-zero exit code. The client that sent the mail should have noticed the failed injection and kept the original and alerted the user.

It sounds like you are using a script to create/inject the emails. Maybe that script should pay closer attention to the exit code of whatever program it is using to inject the email. Regards.

RE: I messed up my QMQP Client Config...
Hi Tim, I was setting up a new QMail server on Sunday and had added the new IP to the qmqpservers file on my webserver. When I powered down the old QMail server, I deleted the wrong IP from the file. So I was left with a qmqpservers file with an IP address of a freshly retired QMail server. As Mark pointed out, I should have been checking the return code when I was generating the E-Mails. I wasn't, but will from this point on. My take on the qmail-qmqpc was that if the server was unavailable, there was no delivery and would be no queuing. You've confirmed that, so it's clear I need to do a better job of 1) Administering these servers better and 2) making sure when I create/inject an E-Mail that I bother to check that it made it.
