Hi,

Yesterday I fell victim to the maildrop bouncing messages when MySQL was unavailable issue. While doing some db maintenance, I managed to hopelessly lock up MySQL.

The next thing I knew, Maildrop had bounced 7 legitimate messages before I shut down the MTA.

maybe i will shut down the mailserver if some mysql checks fail. so i get an sms notification because of the outage of the mailserver. incoming mails would just wait on the secondary mx.

no mails would get lost. and customers which try to send mails get an error. better an error than a bounce.
