Oh, so that's why the mail server blew up

Backing Up and Restoring Your Mail Queue

The bad news about backing up and restoring your mail queue in /var/qmail/queue is that it's nearly impossible.

So, looks what what we were attempting to do for “Project White Elephant” can't work.

So far, I think the desk is winning [1].

Update later today

Woo hoo! [doing the happy dance] The client has finally agreed to scrap the current setup and go with something more sane, which means no more control panel! And no qmail [2].

Update Tuesday, February 8^th, 2005

Boo hoo! [wanting to commit sepiku] The client requires the use of a control panel. Or rather, the admin hired to maintain the machines once they're set up requires a control panel.

Sob!
