In Xmail V1.11 (I assume this is so in other versions), I ran across a minor bug in how Xmail parses its command-line on start-up.
If you DO NOT put in a space after the -Mr flag (which controls the # of hours it takes the logs to rotate), the Xmail service will die the first time it tries to write to any log. So, a command line that contains "-Mr24" will kill the application; "-Mr 24" works just fine, of course. This may be different under Linux -- this was tested under Windows 2000 Server. Obviously, this is not a security issue in any way nor is it really much of a problem -- unless, of course, you run into yourself and spend an hour scratching your head over it :) Just keep this in mind during your next Xmail install :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Frederik Gallon > Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 3:00 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [xmail] Re: a question about backup MXs and resend > timeouts .. > > > > Louis, > > Check the archive of this forum ...
