notification if an email is sent between QUEUEWARN and QUEUERETURN

[Marcus Schopen]

Hi,

is there a way to sent a notification to the sender if an email is successfully sent after QUEUEWARN but before QUEUERETURN?

Ciao

Not directly (within sendmail).

You could use the NOTIFY SMTP extension to request a delivery notification.

Or you could write a program to monitor the mail queue and send the
alerts which you want, e.g., if mail is in the queue after QUEUEWARN:
store that information in some persistent DB, and if that mail is gone
before QUEUERETURN, send the notification.

Or you could hack sendmail to add the desired functionality...
