LOL... Every once in awhile, I check the Sylpheed Claws URL to see if they
have yet implemented the Maildir format.. so far, no go, but it is on
their to-do list.. <g>

Yah, just stop the PID of the MTA, unless you are using qmail's service,
to open up port 25, and throw in another MTA. <g> ... almost.

I agree with you 100%. I had the same initial experiences with djb's
site, versus LWQ.. I have just been with FBSD for 3 weeks or so, but
absolutely love it.. absorbing all I can.. in many ways, the file system
is easier than Linux, by far, fewer .rc files to contend with. I find
memory management much better. I would love to find more PII and III boxes
to convert over for mail / DNS servers... (djbdns or course <g>) I must
tackle the ports / CVSup details yet, but will do that soon.. Remote admin
is a breeze. Overall, probably the best OS I have ever used.
