Moving Mail between Scanners

[Errol Neal]

Already did that. SMTP is shutdown at this point and I am only delivering
messages already queued in /var/spool/mqueue or those going to be queued
there by MailScanner. But that does not deal with the fact that it will
take the server several hours to deliver all of that mail and my clients
being disappointed.
