requeuing /var/spool/smail/error messages
Jon Skelton
should the messages be requeued? (This assumes the problem(s) that
caused the messages to bouce have been corrected.)
I apologize if this is a tired newbie question. I found nothing in
http://www.sbay.org/smail-faq.html or my man pages.

Just move the file back to the ..../smail/input directory. No state in
the file has been changed and they'll simply be re-processed. If
they're "old" (eg. past the retry timeout) you might want to "touch"
them first to avoid them being bounced right away, though without
reading the code I can't say for sure if this is a risk or not.
