tungstite

log and recall MTA delivery status

rationale

Atheme, in its current state, is incapable of knowing what happened to an email once it has passed it off to e.g. sendmail, and thus the only way to track down why a user is reporting that they did not receive their nickserv email is to grep MTA logs. This bot is automated MTA log grepping.
