hi,
i gave the echo "1" as an example. i know it throws the mail away. but even
for that qmail keeps on writing to the file /tmp/flag . i can see that the
access time of that flag file keeps on changing in ls -l . and numerous
qmail-inject and qmail-local process keep coming up till i remove the .qmail
file.
