Is it possible with Exim’s Perl integration to create a reference that will last throughout a message’s delivery and then be reaped?I’d like to explore an flock-based lock for mail delivery that would allow an external process to suspend delivery by holding a lock on a designated path: if Exim/Perl does flock($fh, LOCK_SH) and fails EAGAIN, then Exim will defer acceptance of the message.
I think you're being over-complicated. You only seem to need some form of expansion that you can run from an ACL which results in a defer. The expansion could be perl, could be file-existence, could be a DB lookup. There's no need to delce into locking. -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
