I would agree, 80k is way too much for resent e-mails and our Mdaemon server
simply can't handle it as Linux is able to delivery much more efficiently.
However, that being said, I believe that the default install of Open Protect
uses Sendmail. Our Open protect server is a default install of RH8 and then
a standard install of Open Protect with only the recommended settings
changed in the CONF file.  Inside of the Sendmail configuration, I have it
forwarding messages based on Domain to different mail servers.  The one in
question is to the Mdaemon server, in this case.

Thanks again.

Hmm, there is nothing wrong in the file name algo of qmail.pm of 
MailScanner, the reason DJBs way cant be followed is simple, DJB names 
the queue files as their inode number (pretty kewl), but MailScanner 
unlinks the queue files from one directory and links it to another 
directory, so I have two options for naming the moved queue file - find 
out an empty inode and move the orig queue file to that new location and 
name the thing or generate a random name, since I am too lazy (cmon ppl 
we are talking perl code here ;) ) to do the former doesnt mean the algo 
is wrong. I have checked the qmail-send code and it doesnt care whether 
the queue file name corresponds to the inode number. so much for the rant!!!

and well coming to mails which are sent twice, MailScanner's design 
makes sure you dont lose a single mail what may come, but then there is 
a possibility for a mail sent twice, but 80,000 times is lil too much :).

cheers,
G.
