1.26/1.27pre swapping over a few times but now 1.27pre10. spamassassin rules not updated? check spam folders etc That's only problem I've heard of, year > 2009, but not had any adverse impact for me as I have high threshold but I did check and noted all spam scores were higher until sa rules were updated. > That was the absolute truth.

Other possibility is you lost internet connection for a while and mails are still queued to go out or have been frozen. Do a scan of your spool file or use ctrclnt to check Frozen messages I have and checked are delivery failures and running frozsubmit sometimes clears some/all or does nothing if mails are misaddressed. > > Then, without knowing what else to do since this was a live > system that mis-behaved, I stopped XMail process and started > a quick upgrade from v1.23 to v1.26. > > After that everything worked like before. > However, I find this most suspicious. > > Would anyone have any idea what I should check ? > Maybe the executable got corrupted or changed in any way ? On NetBSD there is a security report between file changes and I also have a copy of each MailRoot/bin that I have updated and recently run md5 against to check nothing changed. > > Also, how would someone configure XMail so to receive logs from it > (XMail) somewhere on the hard drive ? Look at the docs that give the commandline options which have those for debugging listed. I have masses of logs in /var/MailRoot/logs/ and find them very useful at times. I think Davide prefers the xmail options all to be in commandline whilst I'd prefer an xmail.conf but it's not that important an issue for me. My commandline options are set in /etc/rc.d/xmail but on linux I've no idea. > > Any help would be appreciated, > > Thank you in advance all, > _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
