Hi all,
I have had a bit of a disaster befall me.
Recently a customers primary and secondary MX went offline and mail
disappeared.
For some time I have provided a fallback for when MX's are offline by
using MD to copy the INPUTMSG to a mailstore for hosted mail and then I
can use Squirrelmail to make this mail available for my customers to
view.
What I need to do here is to inject a number of emails back into the
sendmail queue to allow them to be delivered.
In the past I have tried to find ways to process these files but cannot
remember whether I:
a) saved them as MSG files
b) saved them as EML file (my customers use M$ outlook/express)
c) put them into the pickup on a Windows SMTP server
d) drag them into a PST from the disk as either EML or MSG
or I seem to have a scripts that runs:
cat $1 | sendmail -v -t
but nothing seems to work, not even this script which I am sure must
have worked once ...
Can anyone guide me on a definitive way to get the files created by MD
delivered?
I know its slightly off topic but the guys on this list have always
seemed friendly and helpful and it is sort of on topic as the files are
created with MD.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks all,
jON
