DA Mail Queue Administration Questions

[cookem]

Anyone know where I can find information on what this tool is showing me?

Here are a few of the questions I have now:

1. What does "< >" mean for the Sender?


2. I take it a "D" before the reciepient address means delivered? And thus, the others are the problem addresses?

Helli,

<> mean no return address. Usually a spammer to this.

D mean delivered. You also can click on the message ID to see the delivery error.

[nobaloney]

<> usually indicates the email was sent by the mailer daemon, which does it to avoid loops which would otherwise result when returning undeliverable email.

It's considered improper to refuse email with a blank sender; there's no where for it to go.

Is Mail Queue shoing what it's not capable to send onto the DA server or going out to external mail server?

[Ryders]

pluk,

Mail Queue admin shows messages that your local smtp server is trying to send out. Some servers may not respond in a certain point in time (your server will then keep retrying for a finite amount of time - /etc/exim.config) or other servers might just reject email from your server (eg. ip banned for spamming).

The mail Queue Manager then helps you monitoring email awaiting action. Frozen ones will not be retried by the server.

Hope this helps!

It surely helps. I wasn't sure and didn't know if that controls and shows the incoming or outgoing ones from my server.

Many thanks!
