Greetings,
We are thinking of using OpenDiskSuite to
mirror a disk which contains /var/qmail so that
if the disk dies we have (hopefully) not lost the
mail in the queue. Will this work?
Would I then need to run the queue through the
queue recovery script or should it be okay without?
Just in case any of you decides to block those
chattering bare/stray line feed MS SMTP servers
until they are patched and want to give the patch
home in addition to the explanatory link in the bounce
message,
qmail-smtpd.c:void straynewline() { out("451 See
http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html.
inted them to the MS patch site
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q224/9/83.ASP

I told them to fix their outgoing mail w/ fixcr if needbe...

Thanks Russell,
We have a hacked version of getpw which gets the home
based on a hash function. All maildirs are owned
by mailq. So it seems that an exit of 111 will tell
qmail-lspawn/local to queue it up for later, right?

My question: can i then put in the same hack to qmail-local.c

or is it too late?
