We hopfully are notified whitin a few minutes when something's wrong in mail delivery, having a few days to fix is far more than needed. > > If it's important not to lose mail, then the deliver on failure strategy > would be more appropriate.

We do not have dspam crashes caused per email contents, they always are system( disk errors, oom kill,…) , clamav or database issues. Anyways, having a copy of the input message somewhere, whatever it's unrelated to the error is a good advice, we'll think about it. > > Joseph Tam <jtam.h...@gmail.com>
