   I'm looking to configure an lpd-style print queue, which instead of

   anyone knows of an existing project that does this or something
   very similar before I begin to re-invent the wheel.  Searches of
   Freshmeat and Tucows were fruitless.  I figure that a
   store-and-forward type queue with no real printer defined would be
   a good place to start, and from there just build a script that
   would mail out each file in the queue directory and then unlink
   them.  The files will be text from Solaris/Oracle systems, so they
   shouldn't require any filtering or MIME encoding before sending
   them out.  Can anyone see any problems I'm likely to encounter in
   setting this up?
   
Probably could make a wrapper for this:

mailx -s "My Subject" receiver@domain.com < filename
