texte = Hi Govinda! here it is: WebDNA writes the mail to be sent in /EMailFolder. There is only 1 = thread sending email unless someone has sandboxing turned on (version = 6.2). The email thread sleeps for X ticks, then wakes up, runs through = the EMailFolder, processes one single acceptable mail by forwarding it = to a SMTP server, adds a log entry in /EMailLog and moves the mail to = /EMailCompleted, then sleeps for X ticks, and repeats. Acceptable means that the filename ends in the word "done". Processing the mail means the mail is sent through port 25 to either a = localhost SMTP server or an external one. It will only process one email file for each sleep/wake cycle. So if the = main thread starts to write a new email file while the email thread is = in the middle of a waking cycle, it does not matter. It will be ignored = until the main thread renames it to end in "done", at which point the = email thread will consider it during the next wake cycle. - chris On Mar 15, 2012, at 20:11, Govinda wrote: > I am trying to help someone with their [sendmail] problems ...and so = was just looking for the email where Chris recently explained in detail = how [sendmail] works.. step by step what it does behind the scenes... = but I am unable to find it in my collection. >=20 > Can someone post it again, please :-) >=20 > Thanks > -Govinda--------------------------------------------------------- > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list
