I only ever tried doing it that way once, a year or two ago, and the problem was that it would start tapping the taps of the taps of the taps, creating an endless loop of email logs. A few test messages managed to increase to something like 35,000 after a few weeks (it was a non-production system, and I hadn't been paying attention to it...). I never even looked into seeing if there was a way to make that work, because a new (invalid) "logs.mydomain.com" domain took care of the problem and was easy to set up.

A cron job could delete them after a period of time ('find' command works nice for this). -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
