[cobalt-developers] Firewall says: Unusual System Events using -f



Hi,
We installed a firewall on our RaQ 550 and it sends me "Unusual System Events" occasionally and sometimes it says:

Unusual System Events

I'm not a programmer but AFAICT using -f means we added an extra parameter '-f' as the from field in the newsletter script to route bounced messages to the from address instead of the server admin. FYI: the newsletter is sent by the PHP mail() command twice a week.

Any suggestions on how to avoid those Unusual system events messages? Since the newsletter is quite large, the Unusual system events message is large too, > 1 MB... Or just ignore them?
Tks+Brgds,
