Can you stop qdaemon from emailing users?
Morning, All.
Does anyone know how to stop qdaemon from emailing users when print jobs fail?
This is causing a problem as the application that we use is mail-aware; users get a prompt onscreen when they have unread mail in their UNIX account, however they don't all have access to the part of the application which allows them to view and delete this mail (a large portion have been migrated to exchange). This is annoying for users and generates calls to our helpdesk which have to be escalated to other teams with an appropriate level of access to delete the mail - which is obviously turns into an expensive waste of time! A man page, Google and forum search has turned up nothing, can anyone help?
As an aside - if you have to look the answer up, where are you looking? Any useful website suggestions are obviously very welcome.
Thanks and regards,
Alex

conflict
CONFLICT(8) [nmh-1.5] CONFLICT(8)
NAME
conflict - search for alias/password conflicts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-version] [-help] [aliasfiles ...]
DESCRIPTION
Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh and the transport system is in good shape
Conflict also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and
thus ignores files in /var/mail which begin with `.'. It also checks for entries in the group(5) file which do not belong to a valid user,
and for users who do not have a valid group number. In addition duplicate users and groups are noted.
If the -mail name switch is used, then the results will be sent to the specified name. Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard
output.
The -search directory switch can be used to search directories other than /var/mail and to report anomalies in those directories. The
-search directory switch can appear more than one time in an invocation to conflict.
Conflict should be run under cron(8), or whenever system accounting takes place.
FILES
/etc/nmh/mts.conf nmh mts configuration file
/etc/passwd List of users
/etc/group List of groups
/usr/bin/mh/mhmail Program to send mail
/var/mail/ Directory of mail drop
PROFILE COMPONENTS
None
SEE ALSO

DEFAULTS
