&tempfail exits with a temp error code. How could it be otherwise? The issue of course is that it is the responsibility of the the process _calling_ e-mail to handle the error. If Q-S notices a problem internally and exits with a temp failure when dealing with incoming SMTP email, then the SMTP client gets the temp failure and requeues to try again. However, if you have set QMAILQUEUE within /etc/profile,etc, and a batchjob calls email and the temp failure occurs, then that error is propagated back to whatever called it, AND IT IS ITS JOB WHAT TO DO NEXT. Exactly the same as if you called /bin/mail and there was no diskspace free - it's the script that called /bin/mail that needs to figure out what to do next - not /bin/mail. End of the day, it's always a chain-of-command issue. If your choice of AV causes you headaches (due to it hanging/crashing/whatever), then Q-S will be a problem to you - oh, and so will Amavis, Trend InterScan VirusWall and whatever other system you use. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
