Hi all,
Running Debian, Exim version 3.20. Caught out very badly (2
hours + $50, long story) recently by the discovery that `mailq'
silently doesn't list my outgoing messages (sent using nmh, which
calls sendmail -bs).
IMHO, it's a bug to have sendmail compatible commands which
aren't. If you really want this, pick one:
1) remove `mailq'
2) have it return an error if non-root and --only-my-own-mail not
specified, OR
3) please have it clearly output that it is NOT showing you
all the mail.
Documenting it is *not* enough; I didn't read the
documentation because I *know* what mailq does.
Cheers,
Rusty.
