I am interested in implementing this patch, but I am not sure how to do it.
I am thinking of writing a wrapper around qmail-queue that reads the message
and envelope, does all the necessary changes and forwards it to qmail-queue.
What I don't know how to do is how to setup my wrapper to talk to
qmail-queue after exec'ing it.
Thanks,
Juan

Greetings.
Appended is a patch to qmail-1.03 that causes any program that would run
qmail-queue to look for an environment variable QMAILQUEUE. If it is
present, it is used in place of the string "bin/qmail-queue" when running
qmail-queue. This could be used, for example, to add a program into the
qmail-smtpd->qmail-queue pipeline that could do filtering, rewrite broken
headers, etc. (this is my planned usage for it).
This has undergone virtually no testing, but it looks so simple that it
almost has to be correct. No warranties, etc. Note that the chdir to
/var/qmail is always done before exec'ing the program.
Does this look like a reasonable thing to do?
