We do know that all the emails are getting sent.  We count how many mails we
should be sending and the numbers match up with the logs.  Does qmail-inject
retry qmail-queue if it fails?

As for Reiser, we know we are a bit behind on it.  We are still on 2.2.16
kernel and running the last reiser we can for that kernel.  If the mail is
getting sent, that is most important.  We will send you guys and the Reiser
guys any errors we get out of strerror.

Thanks,

Brian Moon
