Eric,
Peter just checked in some code that generates a warning if the postmaster
address isn't local. Why didn't postmaster@localhost work for you? Did
postmaster@localhost fail because localhost is not in your set of servers?
If not, Peter's code should at least generate the warning (I haven't checked
the text of his patch).

While the cause of this problem was totally my fault, it might be nice
if there was way to stop James from running out of control in the
following situation.
I recently upgraded to the latest cvs code from the cvs code from a
month earlier. I diff'd the config.xml's and since there were some
additions in the new one, I decided to move my config changes to the new
file. Oops, missed the Postmaster email address and I have notify
postmaster turned on for spam and error processors. Next time there was
a message sent to the error processor, it try to send to
Postmaster@localhost. That generated an error, so it tried to send a
message to Postmaster@localhost. And so on and so on and...... 4GB
worth of errors in the deadletter table and 8GB worth of MySQL redo logs
later, disk is full and everything's dead.
Is there anything you guys can do to catch runaway's like this? I
realize the difficulty in doing this since these messages aren't exactly
able to be cross referenced.
Thanks,
Eric
