As soon as as I finish typing this message, I will start the forwarding the email to those that supplied their email addresses.
What are are you going to get. Not much most of the time. It is mostly status messages and an occasional Spam.
The things to pay attention to are New Users. This is where we can sometimes head off spammers and trolls. But be careful, sometimes something that looks suspicious is really valid. For instance, jhacker:roll: just joined. But that's his name:eusa_danc
Database errors are reported here. Generally, don't worry about a few here and there if the site is functioning. But if things are going badly, the DB errors will provide clues. The DB errors are generally NOT the cause of the problems, just side effects of the real problems. I f the DB itself goes down, there will be no error messages.
Another message that mystify you, is the message that looks a post notification message sent to the webmaster. It's not. Someone got a notification message and in their posting frenzy, replied to the email instead of going on the site. This reply goes to the webmaster, since all notification messages are sent from the webmaster's email.
The other type of message are the ones that come through the Contact Us link. These are issues usuallythat we have to deal with. Eventually, I will put a new "help Desk" system in place and those should mostly go away.
If I see any others that need explaination, I'll post about them here. If you have questions about any of them, also post here.
Oh, one other thing. Automatically generated emails from the 2 addresses in question are sent (first smtp relay) from woodworker.coles-sys.com. That the real name of our server.
