Re: Update sendmail's email result to database

Hi,

We will put the email id in all email's content, so that if we read
files in /var/spool/mqueue, we will able to get the email id.

Another solution is, write a program to:
1. read email id from all files in /var/spool/mqueue directory. So
that we get the problem email list and its failed reason.
2. go to /var/log/maillog*, find out the success sent email list.
3. update the status and reason of all problem email list into
database.
4. update the status of all email address in success email list to
success status in database.

This solution assume that if one email have send successfully to
destination, it will always success within some period of time.
Because we only can get the email id from mail queue, we can't get the
email id from /var/log/maillog* files. So that we will update all
email status to success sent at step 4.

Please provide me some advices.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Our system auto send out email to customer configured email address.
But we hope to update all outgoing status to database, so that we can
find out any problem happened after email send to sendmail server. For
example we need to know any typo of customer's email address, delay of
email send out, or the mx record failed in DNS query.

At first, I think that we can write a milter program like following:
1. each email content has a email id.
2. the milter program get outgoing status in mlfi_connect() and
mlfi_cleanup() functions.
3. update the result status into database by the email id.

But after some testing, I found that the callback function in milter
program only called when email send INTO sendmail server. It is not
called when email send from sendmail server to other mail server.

I am out of idea now. Please give me some suggestion about how to make
this.

Thanks for your help.
