Your web server, running as user www-data, generated some email messages (possibly a CGI). These messages were either undeliverable, or delayed, and courier has generated a delivery status notification (DNS) back to the original user, ie. www-data. However, courier cannot deliver to this user, because this user probably does not have a writable home directory, or a Maildir. Solution: just leave the messages there. They will eventually double-bounce, and the postmaster address will see the messages. If you want to speed this up, use the "cancelmsg" command with the queue id's of those messages, to make them bounce sooner. For the future, make an alias for the user www-data, pointing to a real person. Also, make sure that the CGI that is generating messages does so properly, ie. with a return-path: set to a real user. -- Anand Buddhdev Celtel International ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
