What do you all do with administrative mail?
If you run a moderately-busy mail system, you're getting a lot:
- double bounces
- virus notifications
- daily run output
- cron job output
[/list:u]
Do you read it all? Do you automate any of the processing?
I always glance at my daily runs, and any cron job output I receive, since most jobs output nothing unless they generate an error.
I'm pretty much sending virus notifications and double bounces straight to the bit bucket, which begs the question-- is there ever a time when I ought to look at these? Can I have the toaster send them directly to the bit bucket without notifying me first?
how do you identify your double bounces? Filtering with mail client? procmail? ??
Right now they go to my main administrative box and I read them with my regular mail. If I decide to filter them, I'll simply send them to a different mailbox by changing /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto.
Filtering by content would be easy (look for "but the bounce bounced" in the message body) but fairly pointless given how easy it is to redirect the messages.
