Re: [WebDNA] Emailer Issue *SOLVED*

Luckily, I only attacked myself and not a client. 24hrs later, I am just back up... FYI, here=B9s how it works... When you discover ten=B9s of thousands of emails in the EMailCompleted folder and the only way to remove them is to rename and re-create the folder, if you leave the ownership as root/admin, Emailer will continue to send an email [in this case, every 1 tick] until it is removed from the EMailFolder. Because the ownership/permissions did not allow it to move to EMailCompleted, it sat there sending for hours sending. Bummer... I did discover a few scripts that roll the folder periodically, but I was wondering if this is now built-in to the new version of WebDNA? Same with the .debug logs that can reach 15 GB? Anything else that can explode? ;-) Thanks, -Chris On 8/19/09 1:28 PM, "Kenneth Grome"
