That might just do the trick. I notice Keith Burdis has written sdeliver.
According to his web page(http://rucus.ru.ac.za/~keith/qmail/sdeliver.html)
it:
"Delivers mail from a maildir to a remote host using maildirsmtp. The
results of delivering each message are logged in the syslog.
"It runs under supervise so that it continues to deliver any mail in the
maildir using maildirsmtp as long as the supervise process is up. Delivery
is stopped and started using svc."
That would do the trick, but his ftp site is down :o(

That sounds like a nicer solution. Can you point me at where I might learn
more about setting this up? Is it as easy as building qmail twice - once in
(e.g.) /var/qmail-in, and again in /var/qmail-out then use qmail-smtpd from
/var/qmail-in and qmail-send from /var/qmail-out ?
Thanks,
R.
