Bug reports should be sent to Martin.Wendel@its.uu.se. Please include a transcript of the log or run emil with the debug flags -hhhh and also include the message that fails. Also mention what OS you're using. To ensure that the message causing the error is sent unconverted please save it to a file, encode it and send it as an attachment. Known causes of error are: * Syntax errors in emil.cf Check the error message below: Emil-Error-message: Config file: Confextr: invalid match confextr("UUENCODE", "", "APPLICATION") at line 88 around '' This implies a syntax error at line 88 in emil.cf. Action: Correct the error on line 88 in emil.cf. * Allocation errors Check the error message below: Jan 1 15:21:45 alba emil: load_data cannot allocate memory If you get this error message you're in trouble. This implies that there's no paging space left and emil is unable to allocate memory. Action: Increase the size of the page area. As a rule of thumb the page area should be at least twice the size of the physical memory. * Sendmail loops If you configure sendmail to use emil as a loopback mailer and you do it wrong you will create a loop that will fill up the spool area or the page are, which ever gets full first, in a matter of seconds. Don't do these kind of changes to a sendmail.cf that is in production. Instead make a test copy of sendmail.cf and try it out with the -bt flag on sendmail. If using the When emil calls back to sendmail, it will use the address @emil:
. Therefore make sure this address resolves to
and a mailer not equal to the emil mailer.
