Hi,
as in my mails from the last days I now turned off requiring
reverse_lookups to warning when a reverse_lookup fails.
So this should be no real problem I think.
But I encounter very weird things - the message is not really processed but
it breaks (I think) and resides in several directories...
Did I do anything wrong or where can one search for this failure/behaviour?
When I get a log entry like these ones:
==================

==================
fragments of the mail are left in the following directories and the mail
can't be routed, sent out at all or however one should call this...
