Mail Queue Administration Questions

[sng]

Can someone explain the Mail Queue Administration?

I see a lot of email but i dont know where its coming from... Is it from outside of the server or people in the server sending email...

I am also confused by this, I have just seen loads of email addresses that I do not know and I suspect to be spam, the majority, but not all, appear to be frozen, if you look at other posts on this subject, they are mail waiting to be sent out by my server, is that correct?

If so, where are they coming from and how do I stop them, it is not any user on my server as I am in the process of setting it up and it is not being used except by ourselves.

Frozen email is undeliverable. You can delete it but it should eventually disappear.

About Mail Queue Administration and a mailing

Hi!!

I have a dedicated server with DA, i run www.turiempleo.com in this server and i have a mailing application on the site, very simple, it gets the message, makes a loop trough the addresses in the db and writes the result to a text file in the server.

The first mailing to the companies, to about 1.900 addresses went totally fine.

The second one, to around 19.000 email addresses didn't work so good, i got the text file written, but not with all the emails and i have now around 50 pages in the Mail Queue Admin.

I think what I'm doing wrong is the mailing process itself, making a loop with 19.000 addresses is maybe too much but i don't know how to handle this!!! Any hint on how to modify Mail Queue to accept longer lists or how to write the app for this kind of mailing would be great and very appreciated!!

Greetings,
Santiago

[santibm]

hi! Thanks, do you know the command, i'm looking through exim docs and there is plenty of them but i'm not sure on which one to use.

Also, i f i clear the queue from the shell, will those messages be delivered?

Thank you very much!

Messages are sent out from the queue; if you clear the queue the messages will NOT be delivered.

My clients run forums too...... When spammers join, most provide a fake email (bewieldered to the 'confirmaition email' it sends), thus the server cant deliver them and will freeze them, and delete them after 24hrs (custom configured)....

Look at an individual email in the queue that you believe to be good, and then find it in the /var/log/exim/mainlog to see why the destination receiver is refusing to accept it.
