annotate man/masqmail.conf.5 @ 378:5781ba87df95
Removed ident. This had been discussed on the mailing list in Oct 2011.
Ident is hardly useful in typical setups for masqmail. Probably Oliver
had used it in his setup; that would make sense. Now, I know of nobody
who needs it.

| 0 | 429 |
| 34 | 430 Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery warning reports. |
| 431 It uses the same mechanisms for variables as \fBerrmsg_file\fR, see above. | |

| 34 | 438 Set this to a list of time intervals, at which delivery warnings |
| 439 (starting with the receiving time of the message) shall be generated. | |
| 0 | 440 |
| 34 | 441 A warning will only be generated just after an attempt to deliver the mail |
| 442 and if that attempt failed temporarily. | |
| 443 So a warning may be generated after a longer time, if there was no attempt before. | |
| 0 | 444 |

| 34 | 446 |
| 0 | 447 .TP |
| 34 | 448 \fBmax_defer_time\fR = \fItime\fR |
| 0 | 449 |
| 34 | 450 This is the maximum time, in which a temporarily failed mail will be kept in the spool. |
| 451 When this time is exceeded, it will be handled as a delivery failure, | |
| 452 and the message will be bounced. | |
| 0 | 453 |
| 34 | 454 The excedence of this time will only be noticed if the message was actually tried to be delivered. |
| 455 If, for example, the message can only be delivered when online, | |
| 456 but you have not been online for that time, no bounce will be generated. | |
| 0 | 457 |
| 458 Default is 4d (4 days) | |

| 462 | |
| 463 Replace \fIname\fR with a valid local or remote mail address. | |
| 0 | 464 |
| 44 | 465 If this option is set, then a copy of every mail, |
| 466 that passes through the masqmail system will also be sent to the given mail address. | |
| 0 | 467 |
| 34 | 468 For example you can feed your mails into a program like hypermail |
| 469 for archiving purpose by placing an appropriate pipe command in masqmail.alias | |
