Maybe you should read the FAQ you're recommending? ;-) There's no risk
of losing mail since the MTA is responsible for the mail at all times.
MS only works with copies of the mail, the original exists in mqueue.in
and/or mqueue at all times. The worst thing that can happen is that MS
has to start over with the batch it was processing when the server windowed.
