Hello XMail'ers and Davide

Our xmail server configuration : W2000 Server SP4, Xmail 1.22 W32, Davide
glst, Henry avfilterpd (post-data scan), and no 'runtime' av scanner
activated

Some customers complains about no delivery of some incoming mails to our
server (even if mail comes from external or local xmail accounts).
After xmail logs checks, I found in each case a line in the smail log file
concerning the 'phantom' mails :

"....." "....." "....." "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"     "LOCAL"
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"     "2006-05-16 03:46:54"

So, normally (if I understood xmail doc correctly), I can say to my customer
:

"We are sure that our server really put the mail in your mailbox, so check
you should check your network and pc for problems (firewall,  filters, av,
.....) that can quarantine or delete the mails when you retrieve them ..."

But some are 'septic' and assure the problem is on our server ...

So my question is :

Does the lines put in smail log files cleary indicate that the mail was
really delivered (for LOCAL lines the mail was effectively written in the
mailbox dir, for 'REDIR' the mail was delivered to the final redir email and
accepted, for FWD the mail was delivered and accepted, ...) ?
Or does smail log lines only indicate that the mail have been taken in
account by the smail module and put in xmail queue to deliver to the real
destination later ?

A final request : It seems that there is no line in smail file indicating
any failure to deliver to final recipents (local or not, ...), so my request
is :
Could some 'failure' lines be added in smail log when a mail can't be
delivered at all (on first attempt even if 'temporary', and for permanent
ones smtp error code returned by remote server, or if localy delivered, any
os reported error like no more space, failure to write, ...)

Thanks

Francis
