I have pushed the changes to github if anybody is interested. The big changes are moving the default location of the directories and changing ownership. Doorknob now has its own user. It basically does: 1. change to queue directory 2. setup inotify 3. drop privileges to doorknob user 4. read config 5. start handling messages sendmail and mailq are now owned by the mail user and group (configurable) and are +s. The queues are now (by default): chown mail.mail /var/spool/doorknob chown mail.mail /var/spool/doorknob/queue chown mail.mail /var/spool/doorknob/tmp chmod 750 /var/spool/doorknob chmod 777 /var/spool/doorknob/queue chmod 700 /var/spool/doorknob/tmp Everything is configurable. You can make the doorknob user root, the mail user root, and everything is as before. Comments welcome. Cheers, Sean
