Bug ID: 3045
Summary: Logging of incoming messages with bad addresses or no
recipients to paniclog not helpful
Product: Exim
Version: 4.98
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: wishlist
Priority: medium
Component: Logging
Assignee: unallocated@???
Reporter: holmgren@???
CC: exim-dev@???
Lines 3383-3384 of src/src/receive.c log to paniclog when exim is run with -t
and there are one or more bad addresses or no recipients at all:
log_write(0, LOG_MAIN|LOG_PANIC, "%s %s found in headers",
message_id, bad_addresses ? "bad addresses" : "no recipients");
I'm not sure if writing to the panic log is called for given that / if a normal
bounce message is also sent to the sender. If it is, could more information be
logged? I can of course go to the main log and look for the message ID (which
is logged twice, btw, because log_write() automatically prepends the current
message ID), but that doesn't tell me what the bad address(es) was/were. In the
case of no recipients at all, I'm not sure what information I'd like to see in
order to better diagnose the problem. I don't think preserve_message_logs will
help me.
