Re: [fetchmail]Sendmail status messages

Hmmm.  What would explain that I haven't been getting these messages,
then all of a sudden I am getting many of them?  I haven't changed my
sendmail configuration and my sendmail server is not exposed to outside
users?

What ways can I track these things down?

Check out /usr/include/sysexits.h:
#define EX_USAGE        64      /* command line usage error */
#define EX_DATAERR      65      /* data format error */
#define EX_NOINPUT      66      /* cannot open input */
#define EX_NOUSER       67      /* addressee unknown */
#define EX_NOHOST       68      /* host name unknown */

If you're getting 64 and 65, there's probably something you need to fix.

 Either way, I
want to know how to have them not report from CRON.  Would it be wrong
to use the antispam keyword to deal with this?  I would turn bouncing
off.

Seems like a bad idea to me..... better to fix sendmail instead.

I don't care about messages that have bad dns entries or unknown users.

If you're really getting those errors rather than 64 & 65, and sendmail is 
giving unique error codes for them, then antispam might help.
