I love efficiency wherever I find it (though a good friend calls me
``the king of procrastination'', so I guess I don't practise what I
preach). So, to me, whether it's an issue here is not an issue. :-)

But no, we don't have to change /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail. As mentioned
in a previous message, Ellen is using a script file that backgrounds
/var/qmail/rc; my solution only involves changing that script.
! pidof, a win by 44 characters?
You know you're a geek when you start counting how many characters a
command takes up. :-) (That's a compliment, in case you take it the
other way.)
I know I'm a geek because I count how many characters the lines in my
messages take up---since I wrap lines manually. (When I started typing
as a kid, it was on a typewriter. No automatic word-wrapping there!)
