[mbaker is the exim package maintainer...] Ari Heitner DC: 703/5733512 CMU: 412/8622699 Non c'è più forza nella normalità: c'è solo monotonia. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 14:55:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Ari Heitner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: exim question Sorry to bug you but I'm not sure this is a bug so I didn't bug(1) it. Sorry :) And it's probably a problem for your upstream guys anyhow... I'm getting some weird behaviour from exim. I accidentally had a mailto in a fetchmailrc running every minute, with the result that it was mailing me (locally) every minute to tell me there was no more mail to fetch (this only ran for maybe 1/2 hour). Exim, being its cheerfully paranoid self, apparently decided someone was trying to spam it or do something else evil, so it took its usual action of sticking all the messages in /var/spool/exim/input and putting off action till the next time cron ran it. But that mail has been there for several days now w/o being delivered. /var/spool/exim/input looks like: templestowe:/var/spool/exim/input# ls 12wbiH-0000Q7-00-D 12wbiL-0000Q8-00-D 12wbiO-0000Q8-01-D 12wyOP-00011v-00-D 12wbiH-0000Q7-00-H 12wbiL-0000Q8-00-H 12wbiO-0000Q8-01-H 12wyOP-00011v-00-H except it goes on for about 25 lines. It's all the right mail ... if I mail myself new stuff (I turned off the fetchmail cronjob completely, so no new mail except my test stuff has come in) it just sits in the input directory also (I can see new files with the right contents). Suggestions? If there's an exim mailing list I don't know about (I feel guilty for bothering you rather than doing my homework) please feel free to just forward this to that. I ask that I be cc:'d on mailing list reply-posts. I feel like such a bad person :) Ari Heitner DC: 703/5733512 CMU: 412/8622699 Non c'è più forza nella normalità: c'è solo monotonia.
