that is just qmail and the other MTA related crap that does that. the other dns stuff really wants to go into /service (publicfile is very similar) the debian packager gets around that by using the qmail-src package that then builds a FHS compliant qmail .deb. there are still symlinks from /var/qmail/* to where the files really live. this provides the compatibility with those that ``know'' that rcpthosts is in the /var/qmail/control dir, and not the /etc/qmail dir -john
