yes, that's a good idea. However, an alternative suggestion would be to take this a step further and have an (alternative) directive being able to take the src of a file/output of script as message describing the problem indepth within the postmaster reply. +With that the being able to pass on any valid macros like used in a true filters/mproc "external" manner, being able to further customize the message. Left to contemplain about would be if an alternative CustomSMTPMessageFile directive should cause XMail to take the output as a new message with: 1) headers and all as a string, (cool) 2) file-ref to to newly created message (even cooler) 3) just have it include the stringified output in the stock error message. The former two cases (with nods to *2) would be completely awsome since it would allow complete freedom to build the new message in whatever way u like. I would be most willing to contribute with such a template error-reply script if Davide would find this idea compelling. (PERL/WSH/PHP/.. whatever) "CustomSMTPMessage" "Please open http://www.xmailserver.test/smtp_errors.html?data=@@ERRCODE"; --or as a new alternative directive -- CustomSMTPMessageFile "/var/Mailroot/bin/smtp-error-reply.pl" "@@ERRCODE" "@@FROM" "@@RCPT" "@@FILE" ... --having the script utputting whatever... (perl pseudocode example) <<_ENDMESS_ Message from $ARGV[1] to $ARGV[2] could not be delivered due to $ERR_DESCRIPTIONS{$ARGV[0]}.

I have set up our mail server with a CustomSMTPMessage like this: 550 Mailbox unavailable <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Questions? Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or see http://mail.city-map.de for further information. Thank you! It would be neat to add a ?id=X after the link, where X is a variable for the error- code '550' in this case. So the user could be redirected instantly to a webserver showing information matching his or her specific error-code. what do you think?
