Why?
The files read by qmail-send are read into memory and
are not read again until qmail-send is either restarted or receives a
SIGHUP. A simpler approach might be to generate virtualdomains from
your database and then send qmail-send a SIGHUP.
Other control files are read by programs such as qmail-smtpd, qmail-inject
and qmail-remote. These programs read the control files once, perform
their actions and then exit. Again a simpler approach would be to
generate these files from your database. The only problem I can see
with this method is any race conditions where files are incomplete,
but this can be avaoided by writing to a temporary file and then doing
a rename().
