Hi, I am working with developing a simple email gate program. That is dial out
to the ISP to get the email message then distribute the message to the right 
user based on the To: line. I think I can carry it out by two methods:

1. When I get the To: line and the email message, send the message to the user
  by the internal mail function;
2. Direct operate the /var/mail/user file, append the message to this file;

Which one is the favourite one? Is there any problem when the dial line 
disconnect suddenly? 

Best regaurds!
