Qmail-Deliverable

This is EXACTLY the right solution and a mighty fine testament to the forethought the author gave to the problem.
Last night I finally activated the qpsmtpd installation I've had sitting on my server for almost a year. As I watched mail deliveries come in, I paid special attention to all the error messages and worked the many kinks with getting qpsmtpd installed and all the plugins working. Hacking the spamassassin plugin so per-user prefs work, tweaking permissions so clamav works. Bumping up the RAM because I'm running amd64. Etc, etc, etc...
After everything was working as I expected, I started getting bounces for non-existing emails. Holy antiquated problems batman! We solved this problem a decade ago with the qmail chk-user patch. And yet qpsmtpd has no solution. :-( The qpsmtpd dist has a STATUS file mentioning adding support for check_delivery, which no longer exists at the referenced URL. So I found it on archive.org. And it's a half-baked solution that requires suidperl.
I was starting to fear having to write a solution myself, and then I found this. The docs are good, the interface is good, the architecture is excellent, and it works! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I loathed integrating with RT until I figured out that my RT install (3.8.1 with lighttpd and FastCGI) wasn't playing nicely on a CentOS system. A vanilla install on FreeBSD 7 worked perfectly so we narrowed the problem down to a bug in the version of perl on CentOS 5.
That is behind me now, but that bug cost me a ton of wasted time loading RT.pm into my application and doing a lot of grep -r in the RT source tree to figure out the right incantations to get, update, and create tickets.
This afternoon I resolved the perl problem and replaced all the RT calls we had painstakingly written against RT.pm with RT::Client::REST. It is faster and far, far easier because the documentation is excellent with plenty of included samples. Great job. Great module. Thank you!

I use mail::send in a number of projects and it makes sending email from a perl script about as easy as can be. However, when needs get more elaborate, such as HTML and other attachments, I reach for MIME::Lite.
