The problem is that I can't go to sleep at night with it this way.
As soon as one of these emails come in, it clogs the delivery queue
for the domain its destined to.
1) smtprs accepts it and places it into \incoming
2) smtpds removes it from \incoming and places it into \domains and \holding
3) smtpds attempts to deliver the email, but it is refused by the next
smtp server
4) smtpds will not go on to the next message for that domain until all 54
attempts fail (5 days)
So, unless I find a way to filter these messages out, I have to keep
watching the \domains directory
and when I see one clogged with one of these messages, I have to stop smtpds,
delete the corrupted rcp file in the \domains directory and the matching
msg file in
the \holding directory, then delete the domain.mri file if there is one in
the \domains
directory, then restart smtpds. Any time day or night...

okay, so i need to code a check into my keepalive script to watch for stuck
messages?
hrm. or just make smtprcv not accept them at all (block them at the door
with a message to
the customer to fix their broken mailer)
