Dave,
Yes, I thought about running a cronjob through the queue to both watch
message size totals AND message date (to check for week old mail).
Could you explain what you mean by a "maildir spool" and maildirsmtp? I am
going to try to look up info right now, but I haven't heard of maildirsmtp.
Do you think the first method (cronjob) is the easiest method? I was
thinking of even going through the qmail source, creating a control file
called maybe "mxhosts" and then parsing the config from there and having
qmail create a seperate hashed queue for MX forward bound mail. It would
be nice if I could _not_ do this and find an easier solution. ;-)
Thanks,
David U.
