| Hi Im using xmail on mandrake 7.2 linux. Ive just set it up as per docs and when I telnet in and use the "mail from:" command to send test mail I get the following.
"451 requested action aborted: (-20) local error in processing" I believe I set the thing up OK, but I cant get a more specific error message. This is a poor error message saying, in effect, "something went wrong" - but I dont know what or where. Is it a config file parsing error, a file permissions error? any help gratefully received. peter |

| Peter,
I saw in the logfiles the same error message (XMail Forum was trying to send you an welcome mail): quote: The attached message had transient non-fatal delivery errors THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY - YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE! This server is configured to automatically retry delivery at configured intervals. Subsequent attempts to deliver this message are pending.

If You start with the MailRoot that comes with the tarbal everything should be OK. - Davide |
