Help decoding a bounce msg

hi, I would like to ask more experienced mail admins around here to help me check this bounce msg. My main concern is that I am not sure whether it is my customer (signoplast.com.ar) who's infected. It's not clear to me if (66.60.1.118) is the originator of the msg or the

Thomas, I am guessing it's an issue with supervise scripts. Thy've gone from 2.x to 3.x and there things stopped working for me. The problem is that I haven't been able to replace 3.1 with 2.4 in a clean way. martin Thomas Holton wrote: still no clue here so i suppose i

hi, sorry for being OT. I need help to diagnose an errormsg I'm receiving from a remote MTA -- mainly to show it's the other admin who's in fault. Or else repair my error and be humble about it :). To make matters worse, the errormsg is unknown to me: seems to be coming from a box I

Outlook Express Prank

boys and girls, this is not reasonable. Please do be kind with your fellow admins even if they do things you wouldn't do. Dropping a bomb such as that, *knowingly* is very unfriendly. No one deserves being crashed by a prankster, and nobody is expecting such uncivil behaviour in

Re: how to set the rights for maildir to be secure

Dave, this thread got me wondering, and, as I suspected, my machines are usually configured with home at 0755 (world can read/execute, only owner -root- can write), so only root can add/delete users. [these machines are RH Linux + Bastille, mostly] On the other hand, I wouldn't

command confirmation interface [à la ezmlml]
