when a temp fail occurs both the too address and the top alias list are
included in the retry. The result is the email gets sent to many ppl.
Every
this else "seems to be working". I will get about 40 email (don't know the
actual number but it's more than 20) sent to jeiva(me) because testt
tempfails. This is from it retrying until it times out. The way i found to
have testt easy temp fail is for it to go over the disk quota. We use the
disk quota for our system to include all the user's files(not just mail).
excerpt from the alias file:
t: te...@egr.uri.edu
asdf: t,jeiva
The entry in mailq:
0EE9328763 1277 Mon Feb 1 12:00:46 je...@egr.uri.edu
(temporary
failure)
te...@egr.uri.edu
a...@egr.uri.edu
why is the a...@egr.uri.edu alias still in the que?
the way i am currently planing on "fixing this issue is a hack. I would
have a cron job that will remove the alias part of the address. I think i
can do this but i would think there should be a easier more official way
to
fix this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Johnathan Eiva
