Hi all,

I'm having some issues with mailbot. I've had it work before, but right
now I'm in a situation where it doesn't seem to send out anything and
since it "terminates quietly" I have no way of know why it chooses to do so.

I typically run it with the -d option. But in order to test, I delete the 
database file so that it won't have any knowledge of repeats, and hoping
to have it send out the response anyway.

But for some reason it still won't send the response. In what cases does
mailbot choose to terminate and not run the sendmail program? I'm using
the courier-provided sendmail, BTW, which normally works fine.

So I even test it manually, as follows:

# echo /tmp/message | /usr/lib/courier/bin/mailbot -t
/usr/lib/courier/share/reject_msg 
-A 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Where /tmp/message is a valid email message, and of course the 2 email
addresses provided are valid email addresses. And for these manual tests
I don't specify -d

So does courier keep some internal database to prevent repeat
autoresponses? I'm not providing the -d option, but mailbot just does
nothing. It returns with no error, and the maillog does not show any
communication with courierd or courieresmtpd. 

Is there a way to have mailbot log some sort of information?

Thanks for any help.

Ricardo
