It turned out to be caused by an upstream virus scanner that somehow didn't accept the message. This does not happen with the default install of Djigzo since it does not internally deliver email to an external virus scanner. Messages are only stored in the error spool on exceptional situations. Sending warning email when something something unexpectedly has happened can lead to bigger problems. For example a message can be send to error because of hardware or OS problems. I think it's therefore better to use external monitoring tools like Nagio, Cati etc. to check the spool, back-end etc. A script is available that can be used to check the spools and functionality of the back-end. The script to use is: djigzo/scripts/check_backend.sh For example to check the number of items in the error spool, you should call: $ check_backend.sh mpasize error and for the outgoing spool use: $ check_backend.sh mpasize outgoing The script contains some notes on how to setup a port with xinetd to make it possible to query the settings via the network. This can then be used by your monitoring tool to monitor the setting and send warnings on a certain level. Kind regards, Martijn -- Djigzo open source email encryption
