| 432 the message headers and the message body of the failed message. | |

| 437 \fBwarnmsg_file = \fIfile\fR | |
| 0 | 438 |
| 34 | 439 Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery warning reports. |
| 440 It uses the same mechanisms for variables as \fBerrmsg_file\fR, see above. | |
| 0 | 441 |

| 34 | 447 Set this to a list of time intervals, at which delivery warnings |
| 448 (starting with the receiving time of the message) shall be generated. | |
| 0 | 449 |
| 34 | 450 A warning will only be generated just after an attempt to deliver the mail |
| 451 and if that attempt failed temporarily. | |
| 452 So a warning may be generated after a longer time, if there was no attempt before. | |
| 0 | 453 |
| 454 Default is "1h;4h;8h;1d;2d;3d" | |
| 34 | 455 |
| 0 | 456 .TP |
| 34 | 457 \fBmax_defer_time\fR = \fItime\fR |
| 0 | 458 |
| 34 | 459 This is the maximum time, in which a temporarily failed mail will be kept in the spool. |
| 460 When this time is exceeded, it will be handled as a delivery failure, | |
| 461 and the message will be bounced. | |
| 0 | 462 |
| 34 | 463 The excedence of this time will only be noticed if the message was actually tried to be delivered. |
| 464 If, for example, the message can only be delivered when online, | |
| 465 but you have not been online for that time, no bounce will be generated. | |
| 0 | 466 |
| 467 Default is 4d (4 days) | |
| 468 | |
| 34 | 469 .TP |
| 470 \fBlog_user = \fIname\fR | |
| 471 | |
| 472 Replace \fIname\fR with a valid local or remote mail address. | |
| 0 | 473 |
| 44 | 474 If this option is set, then a copy of every mail, |
| 475 that passes through the masqmail system will also be sent to the given mail address. | |
| 0 | 476 |
| 34 | 477 For example you can feed your mails into a program like hypermail |
| 478 for archiving purpose by placing an appropriate pipe command in masqmail.alias | |
