If anybody could help me with this I'd really appreciate it!
I keep getting email messages in the mailq that keep occurring. I think it has something to do with my sending email to other providers that don't see my local linux machine as a valid (registered) domain and so they send messages back to my machine saying that my original message was deleted.
I'm assuming that you don't have a registered domain. I believe that it is one small effort to prevent spam. SuSE's sendmail config includes this filter. 90% of the mail that gets rejected for this reason on my machine is spam and the other 10% are from users such as yourself. I've asked how to filter this better but have never gotten any input. What I don't understand in your case is that the messages do get back to you so doesn't that mean you're valid?
This sends an email message to the root account by the mail delivery subsystem and clogs up the root mail box.
Is there any remedy to this?
Send mail from a relay that has a valid DNS record. I'm pretty weak when it comes to MTAs so I don't know if there are other ways.
