I'm pretty sure that when this happens, mail is lost. I've had it happen on occasion with an older server I have in service that I actually VM'd a couple years ago... It's got a small "Disk", so it will occasionally fill up. When this happens, mail seems to get lost... If I recall right, it also kills of MySQL, which causes other issues too! :-)
This is with a QmailRocks server, not a QMToaster, but I'd expect the result would be the same with a QMToaster.

I would expect that messages would be deferred with a 4xx error (temporary failure) of some sort if they can't be written to the queue. If the messages have already been accepted but cannot be delivered, they should still be in the local queue. "qmHandle -l" will show what's in the queues. > What's the best way to act in situations like this? Do something to free up some disk space. ;) There might be some things (backups, logs, source rpms) in /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/ that you can get rid of in the short term. > Regards, > Peter > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- > Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) > Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations. > If you need professional help with your setup, contact them today! -- -Eric 'shubes' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
