Ah, very clever! To avoid the locking problem, just call sendmail
itself instead of the MDA. A little performance penalty, but you
should be able to live with that.
You'll probably need a small shell script (or C program, if the extra
performance is worth the effort) to convert the envelope information
qmail passes in the environment to the command-line parameters
sendmail will expect, but should be pretty easy...Something like:
qmail2sendmail:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/sendmail -i -f "$SENDER" "$RECIPIENT"
then put in ~alias/.qmail-default "|/path/to/qmail2sendmail", or use
it as your defaultdelivery method when starting qmail.
Good luck,
