Hi,

I am thinking of using ar\_mailer as emailing solution for my app. But  
unfortunately, i am not able to run it in daemon mode.

if i start the ar\_sendmail as: $ar\_sendmail -d  
It simply bails out without any error after a while, but it doesn’t  
serve any emails.

Whereas as vanilla $ar\_sendmail does send out mails.  
What is the issue with daemon mode. I did see few others struggling with  
it, but no solution has been posted.

Please do suggest.

Regards,  
SG
