Quarantined messages

[Rodney Green]

Glenn, 

CHMOD'ing it and touching the files did the trick. Thanks so much!

If I were to set "Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files" as no, would it
write the messages in mbox style format?

Thanks again,
Rod

Try making sure they're "palatable" to postfix by
chmod 0700 <filenames>
touch <filenames>
... and perhaps finish up with a "postkick public qmgr I" or somesuch.

As you perhaps can guess I don't keep my quarantine as queue files (very
little point in doing so, and MailWatch needs them "decoded") so I've been
rediscovered some of the reasons I don't do that:-):-)

A thought, perhaps one should look into making a "both" option for this...
Would preserve the envelope info in the queue file, and the "ease of use" of
having "decoded".
