Interpretation of mail log message

[yc_2]

Hi,

Our Oracle Financial System complaint that their mail send to wrong recipients on 3 Jan 07 from HP-UX11i.

From the mail log, I found the following:

Jan 3 15:28:02 sendmail[3473]: PAA03473: Authentication-Warning: : app11ip set sender to using -r

What does "Authentication-Warning" mean? It only happened on 3 Jan 07.

Thanks in advance for any pointer.

To avoid this you will need to make sender@domain a 'trusted'
user to sendmail.

You can either put all such addresses in a
sendmail.ct file or put them directly in the sendmail.cf file:

# this is equivalent to setting class "t"
Ft/etc/sendmail.ct
Troot
Tdaemon
Tuucp
Tsender

Rgds...Geoff

Hi,

Why it only happened on 3 Jan 07 and there is no problem now?

Don't know - maybe your DNS was down or unreachable for a minute...

Maybe someone was testing a script change - then changed it back the next day...
