Thanks, for the read. Like I said, I'm a hobbyist (run just two servers and two
workstations). I can, however, sympathize with the f*cked-up file locations and
strange 'quarkiness' of djb's configs. In know the system now, though, and his
software is fast and clean and does 'what it's told.' I don't know how many
times I've installed the 'latest and greatest' just to find it's less reliable.
Granted, I haven't made a conserted effort to find a more user-friendly mail
server and replacements for djbdns and daemontools, but...
