dead.letter

[Marc arbour]

Hi

My ISP (Netnation) is using sendmail.

I use a script that uses sendmail (automail_lite). When a surfer doesn't give me the right address, or when the email is not sent for any reason, it used to get a dead.letter in the man directory of my ISP's ftp...

I deleted the file 5 times a day so I figured, heck, why not set the chmod properties of dead.letter to something nobody or nothing writes to it... Sendmail is now putting a file, somewhere else than in my ftp at netnation that totals over 55 megs (and growing at the rate of 5 megs per hour)... Noone can find that file...

How can I deactivate the writing to dead.letter? How can I get that to stop?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.
