I sent an email that had a bad recipient. I will sanitize the actual recipients and the recipient MX, but otherwise everything is the same.
Instead of being sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (there were two recipients) I accidentally sent it to [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is what my logs show (sanitized slightly): Dec 2 10:26:21 honker courierd: newmsg,id=0000E495.3FCCBD2D.00002488: dns; localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) Dec 2 10:26:21 honker courierd: started,id=0000E495.3FCCBD2D.00002488,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,module=esmtp, host=domain.com,[EMAIL PROTECTED],addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ^^^^ Why does this line show [EMAIL PROTECTED] after the host= part? Dec 2 10:26:21 honker courierd: Waiting. shutdown time=none, wakeup time=none, queuedelivering=1, inprogress=1 Dec 2 10:27:21 honker courieresmtp: id=0000E495.3FCCBD2D.00002488,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Connection refused Dec 2 10:27:21 honker courieresmtp: id=0000E495.3FCCBD2D.00002488,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,status: deferred Dec 2 10:27:21 honker courierd: completed,id=0000E495.3FCCBD2D.00002488 Dec 2 10:27:21 honker courierd: Waiting. shutdown time=Mon Dec 15 10:23:40 2003, wakeup time=Tue Dec 2 10:32:21 2003, queuedelivering=1, inprogress=0 ======= OK. However, 'mailq' did not, at any point, show this message. I had to manually remove the message (I suppose I could have used cancelmsg from the information from the logs, but I forgot). Why would mailq not have shown the message? I retained the original C and D files (3 of them). One from msgq and 2 from msgs. Also, the 'D' file has as it's To line: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the invocation was using the 'mail' command: mail -s 'subject here' [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Questions: 1. What went wrong? 2. why is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' after the host= line 3. most importantly, why didn't the 'mailq' command show the message. I ran mailq both as a normal user and as root, and the mailq executable is setuid to daemon, mode daemon.daemon, and the queue files were jnelson.daemon. -- Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
