Quarantine reports not being delivered

Post by colin »

When I generate a quarantine report by using /usr/local/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/quarantine_report.php I get the following:

=== Generating report for admin type=A
==== Recipient e-mail address is administrator@xxxx.com
==== Building list for admin
==== Found 0 quarantined e-mails
==== Building list for xxxx.com
==== Found 2 quarantined e-mails
==== Sent e-mail to administrator@xxxx.com

But then the mail does not show up in "recent messages" and does not get delivered.

Do you have administrator on your local EFA as a local user?

I am noticing a similar problem where I have a postmaster on my EFA, but I also have a postmaster on my mail server.

I am troubleshooting this. My theory is that EFA is not queuing it out because of the presence of the local account.

It is also doing it for another account which is not a local account. Plus my local machine domain is abc.local and not xxxx.com. Nice thought though. If it helps I have seen this on ESVA and in that case it was because I didn't have xxxx.com in the "What domains to receive mail for" or "whole domain" selected.

Fixed! I found a typo in conf.php so it did not recognise the sending domain.
I should have looked in the mail log before logging this call. My bad.

Hello,

I just implemented efa and I must say this appliance works great.

Would you mind sharing the typo in conf.php? I'm experiencing the same issue with the Daily Quarantine report.

Check your maillog and apache logs and look for errors.

For example... On one screen...

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/maillog
On another....

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/quarantine_report.php
What do you see?

I am having this issue too. Do you know the error in the Conf file that was referenced earlier?
