If spamassassin dies (use spamc instead to save memory, by the way), then procmail recovers the mail, so you don't lose it. I'm not sure offhand what happens if procmail dies; I imagine it depends on how your MTA is set up. It should go into the MTA's queue for a later delivery attempt, though. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
