Failure to do header caching for a message will not result in lost mail. Message insertion is separated from cache insertions. If the message insertion fails an error is back-propagaged to the sender, but failure during cache insertion is silent apart from the errors in the logs. Messages without cached headers can still be retrieved through IMAP or POP3, though in the case of IMAP they will look funny in the list-pane, and look just fine in the preview pane. > > Case a) sender gets note message was not delivered and tries again. > Case b) sender calls reciptient "did you not get this message?" > recipient calls you "why did I not get this message?" your response? > "My mailserver had a bug, and your message was lost?" > > > _______________________________________________ > DBmail mailing list > [email protected] > https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail > -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
