RE: veryfing the score of a message
Well what puzzles me is, is the message in queue, waiting to be sent to someone within your domain, or is it outbound? to be sent outbound.. Why are you wanting to manually scan it? A user of mine try to send an email using my SMTP server, but he can't send me the message which is blocked by my spam scanner (SA), in mbox format.. (so that I can analyse it and find the cause of the blocking) Neverthless I know the right way to control the scanning of that message.. So I said it to send to an outbound address such that it remains on the queue of the mail server and I can analyse it... If you have a better method to solve my problem, it is wellcome! rocsca

The df file contains the message body, and the qf file contains the headers... but they're not in the normal message format. Each header is prefixed with an H and some possibly-blank status info surrounded by two question marks: H??From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] H?x?Full-Name: Somebody or Other The qf file also includes other envelope and queue data, such as how many times Sendmail has tried to deliver the message, and what responses it's received. It should be possible to extract the headers from the queue file, but simply concatenating the files wouldn't do it. Off the top of my head, maybe something like this? grep '^H' | cut -f3- -d'?' Untested, YMMV. -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications www.speed.net

I think you're confusing me with the person who originally posted the question. Putting this thread back on the list... -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications www.speed.net
