Hello,
A few weeks ago, I installed tmda with a bit of
difficulty on my RedHat 7.3 system running sendmail.
Now, I seem to be having some problems.
For example, some guy sent me 2,500 identical junk
mails which ended up in my pending folder. Due to some
apparent instabilities in tmda-pending, I finally had
to blow away my pending directory with everything in
it.
The tmda-pending problems: well, among the 2,500 identical
messages there were a few others, and for some reason they
cause tmda-pending to crash. Once it crashes, it apparently
looses track of the fact that it already released several
hundred messages, so the next invocation of tmda-pending,
I'm back to square one.
Here is the output of a typical tmda-pending crash:
1030555269.2975.msg (276 of 1890 / 27893 bytes)

The message shown above is one of the 2,500 messages (I had
previously worked it down by hand to 1890.
Apparently the next message causes some problem and
if I attempt to release it, kaboom. If I delete it, OK.
However, given the sheer volume it is impossible to do it
manually. I was at the point of feeding tmda-pending 1890
"r" commands via a script when this bug came up.
======= end of first problem causing total loss of pending folder ====
Now, I look in my tmda log file, and I have 2.7 megabytes of the
following messages:

If anyone has any idea why this is happening, I would appreciate
a word.
==================
After using this for a time, I find the idea quite OK, but tmda
seems to crash a lot. Not acceptable. In addition, what I REALLY
want is that tmda would drop pending messages into my standard
mail pending folder (standard IMAP folder on my server in my
home directory). That way, I could examine the pending messages
using a standard email program such as Evolution, and I would
know what messages I had seen and which I had not seen.
Then after some defined time, I would like tmda to move the message
to either the trash bin, or my Spam folder (standard IMAP folder).
This would be really cool. I would then be able to manipulate
the messages more or less as I want from Evolution. Of course,
tmda should be smart enough to realize that I have moved
messages out of the pending folder.
Best regards,
Kern
PS: Sorry, I haven't yet taken the time to get output filtering
to work, so unless you email me from tmda.net, you'll need
to do the little reply jig.
