[xmail] Repeated receipt of messages

2002-09-13 Thread jaydrake
It seems that Xmail has suddenly decided that I am not loved enough and that more mail would make me feel better. It seems as though Xmail is not removing messages from the server when I receive them. I have checked my client to be sure that I hadn't accidentally done something in there while I w

I wouldn't set levels at 777, either way, but... Likely it is unable to make the dir $dirname because it doesn't have permission to make a dir in the dir where you want to make it. I would think chown'ing the dir that you will be mkdir'ing $dirname in to allow whatever user your perl script is r

Is this on a windows or linux system? What user is your perl script running as? My assumption would be that the user your perl script runs as does not have permissions to write to the directory/file(s) that you wish to write to, but that when you login to test it you login as root/admin and the

Presently I have a large number of undeliverable messages on my server living out the rest of their undeliverable life and letting me know that they couldn't be delivered, but that they will try more times, etc. I want to purge all of these messages. What would be the most appropriate way of do

Um. No. No trouble at all. If mail is not getting through it is because that IP address is listed with one of the databases, almost certainly meaning that their mail server is (or was) acting as an open relay. If that server is not currently an open relay, their admin needs to go to the applicab

Ah! Drat! Now I know why I can't stop the server and why it seems to not be working. It's because it's stopping on it's own. (I have NO trouble starting the server...) Looking in logs to see if I can't find why it's stopping... JayD > I'm really not sure what is wrong here, but what seems to b

I'm really not sure what is wrong here, but what seems to be happening is that my server appears to not be moving mail like it should. I can send email to another server, and send mail from another server to this one using accounts on both servers, but the mail does not go through. I even tried
