When mimedfang failed to run, sendmail stopped processing email and was deferred. I want sendmail to continue processing, and have not included the F= flag in my INPUT_MAIL_FILTER.
"Sendmail Mail Filter API" doc says: The current flags (F=) are: R Reject connection if filter unavailable T Temporary fail connection if filter unavailable If a filter is unavailable or unresponsive and no flags have been specified, the MTA will continue normal handling of the current connection. The MTA will try to contact the filter again on each new connection. Does "current connection" mean the subsequent connections will be deferred? My cf file: O InputMailFilters=mimedefang Xmimedefang, S=:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, T=S:120s;R:120s;E:5m I have no F= flag set, yet when mimededfang was not running I got: Jul 15 23:59:41 eastwood mimedefang[10925]: [ID 655476 mail.error] MXCommand: connect: Connection refused: Is multiplexor running? Jul 15 23:59:41 eastwood mimedefang[10925]: [ID 758488 mail.warning] mfconnect: Error communicating with multiplexor Jul 15 23:59:41 eastwood sm-mta[2738]: [ID 801593 mail.info] i6G3xfSb002738: Milter: connect: host=localhost, addr=127.0.0.1, temp failing commands Any idea why sendmail deferred mail instead of processing it? Am I misinterpreting the F= flag? Is there another option that could be overiding the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER options? thanks for your help, Mary Verge DeSisto ____________ __o Unix Systems Administrator ___________ _-\<,_ EBSCO Publishing ......(_)/ (_) 978-356-6500 x482 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
