Re: [FW-1] spool directory

[Mark Ward <mark.ward@FW1-NOSPAMAPPLICABLE.COM>]

Mathew,

Thanks I have implemented a script based on that. The only problem I am
seeing is getting the mail interface working. It looks like the resolution
did not work first time which I have fixed but there seems to be some mail
stuck in the queue. Do you know where the mail queue for the mail server on
the box resides so I can clean it up as I think my mail command will now
work but I get an error message for a previous message whenever I try and
send a mail.


thanks

Mark
