Subject: emergency option can cause lockup
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:57:51 -0600
To: bug-Email-Filter [...] rt.cpan.org
From: "S. Andrew Sheppard" <sheppard [...] umn.edu>
It appears that using the emergency option will cause the system to endlessly loop if the emergency file cannot be written to. I am running this filter in conjunction with exim4 on Debian 4.0, perl version 5.8.8. I have to be sure to set the correct user and group in the exim transport, or this bug will appear. This should be obvious I suppose, but the result in this situation should be to fail rather than lock up the computer.
