Message Delivery status (Relay info) support

Yes, you asked for it, and here it is, experimental support for delivery status has been added to the Baruwa trunk version.

Its still experimental supports only Exim at the moment, but when complete, sendmail and postfix will be supported as well.

The implementation is based on a mini syslog server which accepts messages on the mail.* channel and processes them updating the Baruwa tables in the DB, as opposed to other implementations which tail the maillog and have to run as either the root user or mta user in order to access the log files.

When completed you should be able to from within Baruwa interface tell:

  • If message was been delivered or not
  • When message was delivered to destination
  • What host the message was delivered to
  • Error message if delivery fails
  • Delivery deferred messages

For the brave hearted grab the trunk and test, patch, enhance, comment etc.
