In general, softupdates are very good for mail queues. Indeed, this is the case for which softupdates is almost ideal. However, both qmail and exim make some assumptions about the underlying filesystems which are not valid when those filesystems are using softupdates. Therefore, if you are going to use either exim or qmail on *BSD, you need to turn off softupdates on the respective mail queue partitions. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
