Depends on the software, but since this is sendmail, you should be able to type ``mailq'' and have it return a list of messages still in the queue. > How do I configure a destination for the bounce notices that would > return to vader since this is a relayed message? This isn't something that should be configured on the server. If you look at the log messages you will see that the Envelope From address is defined with ``from=''. In this case: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you were to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where do you think it would go? Where do you think a bounce message to this address will be delivered? Is your mail server configured to handle email for localhost.localdomain? Shouldn't this be more like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some other appropriate domain? As intimated in a previous email, the application needs to be configured to use a From address that goes somewhere if you want to receive bounces. Right now, bounces are likely being sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which probably goes nowhere. Let me reiterate, if you want to receive the bounces, then you need to have the application send email From an email address that actually goes somewhere. If fixing the application (the right thing to do) isn't an option, then you can configure the mail server (debatably the wrong thing to do) to handle email for localhost.localdomain and have it deliver those messages somewhere. So, are you becoming the new email administrator for this system? :-) Andy -- [-----------[system uptime]--------------------------------------------] 12:50pm up 23 days, 4:12, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
