Davide, I am sorry, I did not understand. Do you mean that I should
check in script envoked from mailproc.tab, and if mail delivery
fails, than pass @@TMPFILE to /usr/sbin/sendmail for next delivery
attempt? Should this script be something like this:
==========
#!/bin/sh
perl -pi -e 's/\r\n/\n/g' $1
/usr/bin/maildrop -d $2 < $1 || /usr/sbin/sendmail @2 < $1
rm -f $1
==========
(while @1 will be @@TMPFILE passed from mailproc.tab)
