Re: [cobalt-users] e-mail lost . .

[david <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't seem to get 'any' error messages short of "imapd[xxx] Logout
user=Active_Monitor host=UNKNOWN" in the maillog file. (and if I
undrstand that it's a normal systems check)  I was wrong the mail does
stay in /mqueue in it's seperate parts.  What is the mechanism that is
used to authenticate users?  /mail has the list but also has old mail. 
Everything seems to be running normally.  I know that I must have missed
something but can't seem to find it.  The 'aliases' file seems intact. 
Still no one can get mail from firstILastname@xxxxxxx and that mail
which is addressed to first.last@xxxxxxx keeps right on being picked up.
. . and held in queue.  Under pop3 I get a "cannot get canonical name"
error and a "4hour return to sender" error.

I'm drownin' here . .  8*)





OS-Update 3.0
qpopper 3.0.2
sendmail 8.9.3
imapd 11.241

TIA
