SMTP Verfiy - Log messages

Hi all,

We have the following lines repeatedly appearing in our console log:

Lookup error = Entry not found in index

Lookup error = Entry not found in index

Lookup error = Entry not found in index

We have traced it to us veryifying all SMTP messages. Since the server seems to be working, it’s not a huge concern, but these messages appear so often it makes reading the console a painful experience.

Any way to turn these off? I already have CONVERTER_LOG_LEVEL=10 for the MIME messages. Any other advice?

Note: I am a developer, not an administrator, so be kind. :wink:

Finally sombody elsethat got this message. I’m using R6.02CF1. ANd i noticed it started to happen so ‘all of a sudden’, but now that youmentioned SMTY VRFY, that is probably the issue. I recently (around the same time the error message started to appear on the console) enabled SMTP VRFY, i also enabled SMTP AUTH. It make sense, the verification of the name is not found, thus reporting, ‘entry not found’. We needed to enable this to ‘talk’ to an another SMTP server (not domino).

I wasn’t too alarmed either, i figured after a reboot the message will just disapear. But now that there’s a logical explanation it probably won’t unles something is done! The only thing I can’t explain is why does it appear so many times? I know I’m not receiving that many messages (even denied ones). So why does it report so many times?

John, how were you able to trace it to SMPT VRFY?

Well it was during a period where we were trying to clean up a lot of crap with our mail server. That’s one thing we did. Turning off VRFY stops the messages, so… 1+1=2 :wink:
