Hi Charles,
You didn't miss out an initial / in that filename, did you?
Also, if your problem is that error reports aren't coming to you in
time, you should do one or both of the following:
1. Alias postmaster to some user who checks his mail regularly.
Normally we tend to not read root's mail, which is where mailer error
messages go by default.
2. Set the folllowing variables in /etc/sendmail.cf and restart
sendmail:
O Timeout.queuereturn=5d
O Timeout.queuewarn=4h
You can set the first to, say, 1d so that messages which cannot be
delivered within a day bounce back to the sender and postmaster. Set
the latter to whatever figure you like (the example is 4 hours), so
that messages which stay undelivered in the queue for more than that
length of time generate a warning (NOT a failure) to the sender,
keeping him updated about the status of his mail.
Also ensure that return addresses on outgoing messages are correct
otherwise users will not be informed about the status of their
messages.
Regards,
-- Raju
