Topic: qmail

[sti]

Hi SME Users,

Our SME server could not deliver mails because the Internet Service Provider stopped an account.
The qmail queue filled up and it took some hours until this was noticed.

My question..
Is it possible to send automatically internal mails to several users, in case a mail-queue is not able to deliver its content to ISP ?

best regards

You could create a cron job which looks at the outbound queue, and alerts you when it is a above a certain number of messages. But you will get alerts sometimes when there is nothing wrong, just a backlog of messages waiting to be sent.

There's no easy way to do what you want done.

Take a look at this: http://untroubled.org/qmail-notify/

Once configured, it can warn senders if their email hasn't been sent after 4 hours. I got it running, but I had to patch it in order to translate the warning message in french ^^

That's not quite what OP wanted - that notifies the sender if a message is delayed, not "several users".

True, but it can help in this kind of situations (only senders of email which are delayed get a notif)
