Why do you think I put the "happy hunting" there? Didn't travel quite as
sarcastic as the smile on my face when I wrote it. :-)

I don't like qmail much and I certainly don't like DJB's attitude in many
cases. He had a few good ideas however and it certainly is not my part to
try and take that away from him. Besides, I wasn't trying to prove
anything about qmail being good or bad but just something about the
configuration and the parsing.

I haven't looked at qmail in years. Funny that the Version is still the
same as when I used it (that could well be 10 years ago). Today I don't
really care if qmail is secure. That would be a typical case of SEP. :-)

Chris
