Resend archived mail

[John Schmerold]

Turns out the answer to the fundamental question is: you need to copy to 
mqueue.in:
cp -p 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20051101/20060516/?fk4GLVKel032053 
/var/spool/mqueue.in

I'm hoping to whip up a script that looks for the domain in the q file, 
then copies q & f file to /var/spool/mqueue.in

I sure wish FoxPro worked on my Centos box :-(
