Hi all,
Setup is: we have a server that does the spam checking running
MailScanner / Spamassassin and of course postfix
Mail is then delivered to a machine running MailEnable (where the boxes
are held)
We had a situation where the MailEnable machine went down
*In the maillog of the server running postfix were:*

Neither the original recipient or the original sender received
notification that there was a problem or any form of bounce message. The
original recipient also never received the email.
My question is what happened to the email and the bounces and how can I
change the setup so that if this occured in the future (i.e. the spam
checking server can't communicate with the mailenable server) mail does
not disappear.
Thanks
Kate
