We run LISTSERV 15.5 on Linux and have SMTP_FORWARD_n configured, and I see log entries which appear to be from the SMTP worker processes. I do not recall seeing these log entries when we ran LISTSERV 1.8e on Solaris with the same SMTP_FORWARD_n configuration. In the following example, the first 2 lines appear to document the creation of the .mail file containing a message for 108 recipients; the next 2 lines appear to document the acknowledgement to the sender; and the last 2 lines appear to document the hand-off of the message to an actual SMTP process by an SMTP worker process. Have I misinterpreted anything? ----- begin example ----- 2 Apr 2009 17:50:38 Enqueued for background delivery, ID=6CA00BDE 2 Apr 2009 17:50:38 Done - 1 outbound file (108 rcpts). 2 Apr 2009 17:50:38 Message DISTRIBUTEd to 108 recipients. 2 Apr 2009 17:50:38 Sent information mail to ********@ND.EDU 2 Apr 2009 17:50:38 Starting background delivery for 6CA00BDE (0/108) 2 Apr 2009 17:50:38 Finished background delivery for 6CA00BDE (108) ----- end example ----- -- Paul Russell, Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame [log in to unmask]
