Stop Qmail from sending an email to log

  • 772

Every email we send is causing qmail to send an email to [email protected]

How do I disable this?

Thank you, Chance

EDIT:

I created /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-log containing |exit 0

Hope this helps!

email configuration email-server

    This performance is typically added by modifying the "extra.h"1 file before compilation.

    You can modify the dot-qmail2 alias to send to null. You could also recompile QMAIL without this patch.

    ~alias/.qmail-log

  2. On FreeBSD, if I put the following in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-log or /home/vpopmail/domains/[defaultdomain.com]/.qmail-log

    | /dev/null

    I will get this error message:

    deferral: /dev/null:_Permission_denied/

    in maillog so for both files I use 

    | exit 0
