Why the hell can I:
open FOO, "> /var/qmail/queue/tmp.txt";
but not:
open FOO, "> /var/qmail/queue/$messnum";
??
Could somebody direct me to what .c file is inhibiting this? (I just need
this to work for now... I will try and implement everything in
qmail-smtpd.c when I have the time.)
Thank you,
Masuo Gates
