Re: Manage pending messages in sendmail queue

Sorry Andrzej, I have some virtusertable mappings that I have just -
got used- to always using. I have been working on this all afternoon
and you are absolutely correct, there is no need.

I have now set up a standard relay for a domain that I own, there is
NO Cw record, I have the relay-domain entry and mailertable points to
an IP that does not host SMTP so the mail stays in the queue. I have
successfully reproduced the scenario when a customer server is down.

I believe I have worked out how your instructions work.

Issuing "sendmail -bv -d60.1 $1" for my domain tells me that
the mail will be passed to my script (mydomainname.co.uk.rc)

and I have a mailbox called "jon" which I can log into via
Squirrelmail (Imap)

Now the mail comes into the queue, syslog tells me it was delivered
to

relay=/etc/procmailrcs/mydomain.co.uk.rc

but the mail does not remain in the queue and the mailbox does not
receive the mail. It dissapears.

I have NOT used the PGP signed files on the web page that I am
referring to that you wrote (I don't really know what to do with
them), I have "chmod +x" my .rc script and the .pl script.

I have checked perl which tells me :

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi

I don't seem to be able to find any log that tells me where my mail
has gone.

I feel I am very close ... please forgive my ignorance, I am not a
seasoned pro with this stuff.

many thanks,

jON


Why?! It is not required.
All you need for "dumb" secondary MX (pre spam era standard) is the
following access db entry:
