For the record: Lambertsen's statements are false. If qmail runs out of
memory, it defers the delivery attempt; i.e., it tries again later.

I can't speak for qmail-with-the-code-that-Lambertsen-inserted-into-it,
which is what Lambertsen means when he says ``qmail''; or for the
external delivery programs that Lambertsen was running.

If Lambertsen had ever reported his problems to me, I would have told
him to obtain a system-call trace. Any expert can easily read a trace to
see which program is behaving incorrectly.

As for Warfield's comments: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/warfield.html
