simple smail questions
hi all,
I'm using Debian 1.3 bo with a 2.0.29 kernel; my smail installation is
preety standard; I have a permanent connection to the internet; smail is
working fine for most everything here;
..but I still have some questions.. see if you can help me, please:
- I saw a message here stating (not in these words) that "smail is dead;
use exim instead"; is it true? I can see that smail is still
(according to Debian) the "reccomended MTA for Debian"! note that I'm
not spam-asking which one you use! :-)
- on the subject of moving files from /var/spool/smail/error to
/var/spoll/smail: I did just that yesterday and the files are still
there.. I'm afraid my crond is *not* calling runq. how do I make sure
runq is beeing called? there is a /etc/smail/crontab but I don't see
how crond would find it there..
- how do I set the retry fequency for smail; after reading the man page
I just created /etc/smail/retry with a single line like '* 55m/3d'
hoping that it would instruct smail to keep trying each 55 min during
3 days; it looks like it didn't work: I'm still getting error messages
after 1 hour; what else do I have to do? 'killall' something?
TIA!
