I'm using maildirsmtp to route my outgoing mail through my ISP. Recently, I've had problems when the connection has died, mid-transmission. The mail is no longer in the /var/qmail/alias/pppdir maildir, all I have is the processes running, e.g. /usr/local/bin/maildirserial -b -t 1209600 -- /var/qm 1389 ttyp1 S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/maildirserial -b -t 1209600 -- /var/qm 1390 ttyp1 S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/serialsmtp alias-ppp- west Is there any way I can restart the send when the connection comes back up, or do I have to kill the processes and restart the whole procedure (i.e. re-compose and send the interrupted messages.) -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze.
