The way I read the 440.status-mailq script, the -Ac parameters are *only* passed when the daily_status_mailq_shorten variable is set to 'YES'. The default value for that variable is 'NO', so the default for the status-mailq script would be to invoke mailq with absolutely no parameters, which should be compatible with all MTA's. The reason you are seeing that problem is that you have tweaked the default settings by explicitly requesting shortened mailq output :) G'luck, Peter --=20 Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence contains exactly threee erors. --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9Rque7Ri2jRYZRVMRAug5AJ0c7ZGQJNzBBoz8eiAPGIcHzR2E0gCfTN1p 3lf49bj3weBmIsqcZHEgMhs= =1Uv1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
