[Dovecot] [dovecot] notifications when delivery fails
Hello Timo,
We have dovecot 1.2.13. Is there any way to send notifications to the postmaster when a delivery fails? For example, when the dovecot index are corrupted and the mail is not sent to the user (the user who sent the message receives an error informing that the mail has not sent).
Thank you very much in advanced.
Héctor Moreno Blanco.

Create a script. Instead of running deliver directly, run something like:
#!/bin/sh
deliver $* err=$? if [ $err != 0 ]; then echo failed | mail postmaster fi exit $err
For example, when the dovecot index are corrupted and the mail is not sent to the user (the user who sent the message receives an error informing that the mail has not sent).
This should never happen. The worst that can happen is that deliver returns temporary failure and its delivery is attempted again. Although if deliver crashes, some MTAs treat it as hard failure rather than temporary. You could prevent that with a wrapper script too.
