Yeah, I realized that right after I sent my message. >Why are you > manually creating queue-files again? We're not manually creating them, these are archived queue files that were pulled from the hold queue, and then later released by being dropped into the maildrop queue (using the technique discussed earlier in this thread). As for the "workaround"... I simply created a wrapper for "postfix reload" that we'll use in place of actually running "postfix reload"... it creates a lock file that tells the script that drops the files into maildrop to pause and then it waits until the maildrop queue is empty before doing the reload. Thanks, Curtis P.S. Since I received complaints about my message formatting from both the HTML and plain text modes of gmail, I've switched to using Outlook just for messages that I send to this list.
