XMailforum is a readonly knowledge archive now.

Hi,

does XMail write log files by itself or do I have to set it up? Because there are no log files in the "logs" folder.

Thanks,
Kaan Ertürk

[edit: an off-topic question -> CronDaemon tries to mail to the root by the mail address of "root". How can I change root's mail address to one I want?]

Turn on logging with these parameters:
-Sl -Pl -Ql -Yl -Cl -Ll

.. where l is a lowercase L.

About cron see

Pls open seperate topics for different questions.

About the log's format see

Sorry for the second question here. And thanks also

You gave me parameters but I want to make this default. I mean at system startup I want those parameters to be set. How will I do this?

Thanks,
Kaan Ertürk

Add them to MAIL_CMD_LINE in your XMail startup script at /etc/rc.d/init.d/xmail

OK. It works now.

Thanks,

about your 2nd question komplike and i hope hschneider wont mind, create a file in your custdomains and name it the name of your mail server (ex: mail.yourdomain.tab) and write a line that looks like this:

"redirect"[tab]"yourdomain"

then create an alias named root for the account that will receive the root mail from your server. thats what i did to mine.

I have done something different but don't know how to test. If it fails I will try this, but can someone tell me how to invoke crondaemon to send a mail to root?

Thanks,
Kaan Ertürk

Set the job which causes these mails to a per minute cycle. Details see

Masterbug, I appreciate every other user's post in a discussion. Sometimes a solution has different ways an problems can be viewed from different angles. And finally also an answering script can have coredumps and mem leaks ...
