What happens when qmail-send is killed, as e.g. a routine shutdown
while qmail-remote is hanging onto clients?
It appears that qmail-remote completes the delivery, but has nobody to
tell it did so, resulting in duplications.
Is this really what happens? Of course duplication in such a situation
is quite acceptable. I'm just trying to find out if this is the source
of the duplications seen (or if there is a real problem).
Normally, when shutting down, qmail-send it is not doing deliveries, or
trying deliveries that have a low likelihood of succeeding, i.e.
redeliveries. Thus, this wouldn't be apparent. This time, I shut it
down (-TERM) during maximal activity for reconfiguration (test system).
Any insight would be appreciated! THanks!
