SNDEMAIL writes the e-mail message to /tmp, then hands it off to the
QtmmSendMail API. That API, after scrutinizing it's parameters, passes
the information to a background job that will remove the file from /tmp
and put it into the mail queue.
So there's a tiny period of time between the time you call SNDEMAIL and
the time the background job removes the file where it should continue to
reside in /tmp -- but that should be a very small amount of time.
The fact that a file is missing from /tmp does NOT guarantee that it was
delivered successfully. The fact that a file remains in /tmp is not a
guarantee that it was not delivered. It all depends on what the error is.
However, it's safe to assume that if a file remains in /tmp for more
than a few minutes, *something* is wrong, and PROBABLY means that those
files are no longer needed.

We have a program that sends multiple emails in the event of an error. Each
email is to one person. After reading the thread about files in /tmp, I
checked our system. There are 11 files there. But, all are sent to the same
address. Since the program thst sends the emails is sending to other addresses
as well, I am assuming that the reason these are still here is that the email
could not be sent. Is that a valid assumption? Is there any other reason
these specific emails would remain? The email address used is NOT the last
email sent by the CL, if that makes any difference.
