I see. Should the newline still be in there? On the other hand, now
that .qmail is in /etc/skel, that gives me some added flexibility without
the trouble. I should still fix it--to make assurance double sure. If I
change rc to what you have above, will .qmail files in users homedirs still
be honored?
I must say that I like the feature that qmail will hold the messages in
the queue until you fix things (as opposed to bouncing them), I'm sure that
it has covered a multitude of sins (i.e. users only notice when they get
confirmation that mail isn't being delivered instantly).
Thanks again for all of your help - honestly, this mailing list, though
it is a little slower than picking up the phone and calling is of more
consistent quality than most tech support organizations.
