Interesting, I guess I didn't understand the concept of what dbmail-util was for. I assumed you should run the -a (all) feature. So for the sake of an upcoming consolidation of all this information into hopefully a wiki or at least my own documentation...
I've changed my dbmail-util strategy to be: dbmail-util -dvy every 6 hours starting at 00:05 (6:05, 12:05, 18:05) dbmail-util -pcvy at 1:30am each day dbmail-util -tubvy every month (just in case) Is this a good plan for a larger volume site? One item that would be nice (and it might already be) is if dbmail-util returned with 0 for everything ok, and 1 for not. More convient for the cron process with Email. -- David A.

If any message gets inserted without a correct is_header flag on the first messageblk that would be a bug. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ Dbmail mailing list Dbmail@dbmail.org https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
