Today I wrote a script to send all  users about their account Info.
There were about 500 users.  But in the middle, error messages came
"Resource temporarily unavailable"
** repeatedly (for a set of users in the middle) **

So the mail is reached only to small group of users.  I am wondering
why this happens.

The mail will be queued for another attempt, if you have injected all
these into local sendmail.

you are essentially calling 500 instances of /bin/mail?

  But I am doing a os.popen only after closing it first.


anyway that calls the local sendmail.

do a "mailq" and see - the rest of the mail will be queued for later
delivery I guess.

  `mailq` doesn't returned anything usefull.  Seems like it has flushed
  the queue. But I didn't get the mail to my mailid for example.
