Re: what is this folder for?






That directory is used when a local e3000 job or session attempts to send
e-mail via sendmail but the sendmail daemon job isn't running.  The mail
headers & body get stored as separate files in that directory; when the
sendmail daemon job subsequently starts up, the clientmqueue files get
moved to
the /var/spool/mqueue directory and queued for normal delivery.
