FW: residual mails

[S Mohan]

Addendum to my earlier mail. This looks like sendmail behaviour as I see
files in mqueue directory also where df and xf files exist but no qf files.
mailq returns empty queue. The xf file only seems to contain one line of
data saying "<<< DATA".

Thus I surmised moving the files from mqueue.in to mqueue directory would
not help. This means my machine is gobbling up mails - gives me a scary
feeling. Can someone help me with this please? I'm posting this to sendmail
list also to see if I get a response.

I've upgraded to 4.xx version released. Thanks Julian. I feel a major
enhancement is the facility to use rules for any setting. Great feature
apart from the speed and enhancement of vulnerability protection.

Over the past few months, I've noticed that some residual dfxxxxx files
remain in the mqueue.in directory. Mailscanner does not seem to flush them
at all into the regular mail queue. Why would this happen and can we force
mailscanner to process these mails?

In V4 rules, can we specify a not condition using a ! before the match
string for exclusion?
