Obviously.
However, we have a reasonable number of systems out there at client's sites (we install Linux into small businesses who can't afford NT) and they don't half scream when their e-mail goes down. So any tool that keeps it up is worth it in my book.
Having an init to run an init seems a bit OTT, but running the master through inittab is well worth it. It really bugs me when daemon's don't have a "-f" option, cos it means I can't run them through inittab.

I've never heard that before. Useful knowledge. I assumed all platforms could run multiple child accepts.

Too true. My project No.2 is to re-write SpamAssassin in "C", unless anyone knows a version ? Anyone know if libpcre is any good ?

Yes, and no ... desktop users don't like having to wait to send their mail... if there aren't enough scanner processes available, then the user will be told "Try again later". They don't like that !
