Hi all,
Still struggling with my queue. I didn't get any bites on my
request for a consultant so I will continue to ask questions and hopefully
solve my own issues.
My current questions involve bounce messages that are not able to
be delivered for some reason. Currently I have 44000 of 48000 messages in
my queue destined to go to a particular local address
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Here is what the mailq entry looks like:
=================
12.1K 003BC9AA.3F51F613.00004F6B Aug 31 06:20
courier
fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
=================
This is a message that I have run cancelmsg on so it will not
bother to try to deliver to the listed recipient, but will instead try to
bounce the message to the sender which is noone. I understand that when
there is no sender, the bounce will be sent to postmaster. Here are the
relevant log entries from the attempted force:
=================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /usr/lib/courier/sbin/courier flush
003BC9AA.3F51F613.00004F6B
Sep 19 15:20:38 courier courierd: completed,id=003BC9AA.3F51F613.00004F6B
Sep 19 15:20:42 qmail courierd:
started,id=003BC9AA.3F51F613.00004F6B,from=<>,module=dsn,host=,addr=
<postmaster>
Sep 19 15:20:44 qmail courierd: completed,id=003BC9AA.3F51F613.00004F6B
=================
I have postmaster setup with an alias of [EMAIL PROTECTED] which
should forward off to another box which runs the exim-MTA. However,
instead of being delivered, I get these kinds of entries:
=================
Sep 19 15:20:44 qmail courierd: newmsg,id=00238076.3F6B813B.000018C4: dns;
localhost (localhost [127
.0.0.1])
Sep 19 15:20:44 qmail courierd:
started,id=00238076.3F6B813B.000018C4,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,module=esmtp,host=
ocis.net,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sep 19 15:20:44 qmail courierd:
started,id=00238076.3F6B813B.000018C4,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,module=esmtp,host=
ocis.net,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
=================
So, basically, the local postmaster user has an alias to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] However, when bounces try to go to that user, the are
being addressed from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and my Exim-MTA interprets that as a domain
literal and disallows the message.
I am having a hard time searching this one out as the characters
seem to be 'special' and so search engines don't give very good results.
Also, I don't seem to be able to find a search function of the
courier-users mailing list.
I look forward to any replies that can help define why bounce
messages destined for the local postmaster get sent as <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> when
postmaster has been aliased to an offsite user. Thanks in advance.
