Could be. Perhaps I should have said non-qmail specific, as qmail doesn't have this problem AKAICT. > This isn't a major problem (and you can switch off the sendmail double > bounce feature to prevent postmaster receiving the bounce), but it > does mean that you'll never see the message in your TMDA pending > queue. Why won't you see the message in your pending queue? The message is written to pending before the auto-response is generated and sent. It is pretty annoying though to have your debug log filled up every time a spammer sends a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > IMHO, TMDA should just silently errors such as 550 when sending > confirmation requests. Hmm, this sounds a bit kludgey. If there isn't a way to configure around this problem in the MTA, perhaps affected users should just set OUTGOINGMAIL = "sendmail". _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
