It runq eventually gives up, the sender should be notified via email.  Is
that what you are asking for?

The last thing runq does before removing the file is sending an error
email to the sender.  Can you actually send email to
ar.aichi-u.ac.jp!arisawa on the system in question?  Do you
see anything in /sys/log/mail at the same time as the
	ar Nov 10 11:50:32 removing none/C.004414
in the runq log?

Hello,

I would like to be informed smtp failure.
Failure notice by mail will be more desirable.
How to change upas source codes so that failure notice is to be sent to
me?

The followings are the logs that do not informed the failure.
(the recipient z27c856d bellow is not exact one. I have changed for
privacy)
