[rt-users] mailer daemon email

[Hunter, Jonathan]

Hi Shawn,

I solved this here by adding an entry to /etc/aliases as follows:

Mailer-Daemon: my at email.address.com

YMMV, of course. I'm using Slackware 8, with Exim as my MTA - that may or may not have an impact on how effective the above fix is. You could also redirect the Mailer-Daemon alias to /dev/null or to any other convenient place, if you have no interest in being informed of such errors.

IIRC the default Slackware sendmail package does include an alias for Mailer-Daemon, redirecting it to root? I'm no longer sure though - last time I installed sendmail on Slackware was back in the good old days of Slackware 2.. :-) That's where I got the idea for the above fix from, at any rate.

Hope that helps,

Jonathan

Subject: [rt-users] mailer daemon email


A message was sent to an incorrect email address from RT 2.0.7.  The mailer-daemon sent the usual message stating that the address does not exist, whereupon RT sent a reply to the new mailer-daemon user.  Is there a way to keep RT from sending these messages to the mailer-daemon?
