for what you want to do, the best technical solution is to drive
qmail-remotes directly from a perl script. if qmail-remote fails pass the
message off to qmail proper to deliver the message sometime later.
Linux has some problems with its filesystem which might cause problems if
the system crashes (this is the syncronous directory write problem). xBSD
won't have the problem. On the other hand if you've a system with a
logging filesystem (eg Veritas or XFS then this will go alot faster). SGI
have announced they'll be proviing XFS for linux so that might be the
better long-term option.
hope this helps.
