Re: SNDEMAIL and /tmp

SMTP being a "store and forward" system would need a place to keep the
e-mails, unless it was configured to use a relay agent.
Messages that can't be delivered should be returned at some point, but for
"made-up" systems, the sender is usually bogus. Either create a box to
hold those messages, or they wind up being "dead" -- can't be delivered
and can't be returned. That is all that can be said, not knowing what
e-mail system the program is using. They sound like 'delete key' fodder.

We have a program that sends multiple emails in the event of an error.
Each
email is to one person. After reading the thread about files in /tmp, I
checked our system. There are 11 files there. But, all are sent to the
same
address. Since the program thst sends the emails is sending to other
addresses
as well, I am assuming that the reason these are still here is that the
email
could not be sent. Is that a valid assumption? Is there any other reason
these specific emails would remain? The email address used is NOT the
last
email sent by the CL, if that makes any difference.
