Cool. I submitted a version of the patch (http://www.acm.rpi.edu/~dilinger/001-delivery_errors.patch), along w/ a few other patches (a manpage typo fix, and the patch that improves error messages). If Sam accepts them, and releases a new version relatively quickly, I'll package it and upload to Debian. Otherwise, I'll release a 1.8.0 version w/ the fixes. There's 1 pending patch that I'm not sure what its purpose is, that's keeping me from releasing a 1.8.0-1. -- Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
