| 3 | This is the qmail home directory. It must be a local directory, not | |
| 4 | shared among machines. This is where qmail queues all mail messages. | |

| 6 | The queue (except for bounce message contents) is crashproof, if the | |
| 7 | filesystem guarantees that single-byte writes are atomic and that | |
| 8 | directory operations are synchronous. These guarantees are provided by | |
| 9 | fixed-block filesystems such as UFS and by journaling filesystems. Under | |
| 10 | Linux, make sure that all mail-handling filesystems are mounted with | |
| 11 | synchronous metadata. |
