Sorry, but I havent tested this against qmail yet so I dont have
any logs to present. That is why I was originally working on
the root issue because I wanted to trap the mailer-daemon errors
and whatever logs get created.
I have only tested with failures against postfix and sendmail,
that is why I was going to throw qmail in the test and wanted
to know if anyone else had tried this. After all, why re-invent
the wheel. The qmail-vacation program may very well do the trick
but will not tell me why/if the other one failed.
