I'm about to check all this stuff in. Let me know what you think.
I'll see if I can do some checks on partial delivery failure tomorrow. (I really need to get myself a seperate box for testing ;)
But, assides from delivery, it might be useful to store messages which failed elsewhere in the pipeline too; messages in the archive pipe, for instance, or the usenet pipe. It can currently happen, for instance because of a deadlock, that messages just get lost. I haven't looked at the new code yet, but imho it shouldn't be too hard to push messages back into those pipelines, assuming they fail 'cleanly' (and not with files half-written or some such.)
(Then again, I haven't seen failures at all, yet, so I'm not too worried for myself.)
