For the record, I take no responsibility for what happens when Postfix is run on a corrupted file system. Just like I take no responsibility for what happens when Postfix is run with corrupted or incompatible system library files. > fsck or whatever Linux RH does to fix filesystems apparently > converted "private/scan=" socket to "private/scan" dir, into which > we got 2176 Maildir files as orphans. > > no suggestions how to deliver these orpan Maildir msgs? Maildir is an OUTPUT format. There is no Postfix support to READ such files. You can try to guess from the headers who sent it, and whom it was sent to. Please don't use "sendmail -t" as that will send mailing list mail back to the list address, and cause people to be unsubscribed. Wietse
