Hi,

Am 2009-05-29 13:26:57, schrieb Professional Software Engineering:
They should remain in the queue, for another delivery attempt - which 
will encounter the same recipe (presumably, you have some mechanism to 
remove the trigger file).  What is the purpose of this anyway?

I have to vacum a database of 17 GByte which take arround 30-60 minutes.
In this time I have to delay the processing for  messages.  The  accound
receive per day arround 170.000 messages and I have more then  8 million
database operations a day.  Maybe I will  swith  to  4  vacums  per  day
instaed of one and it could be faster but currently I do not know.

Surely your MTA has a method of checking the queue status?

Hmmm, 'mailq' for checking the status and

    courier clear
    courier flush

to clear the flags and flush the queue immediately but this  has  to  be
done as root and the process which create/remove the flag-file does  run
only as an unprivileged user.

It is alredy shit to run additional jobs (vacum) as root which I do  not
realy like on this server because it is 100% exposed to the internet.

Also I am runing already a striped down version of Debian (EmDebian lik)
to reduce the time  required  for  md5sum  checks,  rkhunter  and  other
intrusion detection systems...
