Hi, I'm currently using procmail to pipe mail (after spamassassin tests) to "dbmail-smtp -u username". I've noticed that if the database is located on another machine and that is inaccessible, then the mail will get delivered to the local mailbox, rather than being queued.
My thought was to get dbmail-smtp, upon an error of connecting to the database, to store the message in a directory, which could be then requeued when the database came back online. For example, dbmail has a directory "/var/spool/dbmail/deferred" that it stores the messages in. The file names of the message are composed of the filename "username-unix_timestamp-random_code.msg" and the file itself contains the message. The random code is there just in case that particular username gets more than one message delivered in a second. What are peoples views on the above? I'd checked out the current dbmail-1 CVS tree (I can't seem to find v2?), and I'm going to try and give the above ago, because I know I'd use it, so there maybe others out there too... Matt
