misleading error message when "freezer" doesn't exist
This is 2.99.49p8-try1. Looking at the diffs between try1 and final,
final should also exhibit this behaviour.
If the freezer directory doesn't exist but a message is tagged for
freezing, the smtpserver reports that
308w 452 4.3.0 Requested action not taken: insufficient storage
308# aborted (1335 bytes): message file close failed
This got me nervous about a week :-(
This occurs because _mail_close_() doesn't differentiate between
the different kinds of close failures so the smtpserver only knows
that the "message file close failed" without knowing why. I originally
thought that the "insufficient storage" is a new spam error until I
saw a real spam error message in the log file.
