	This would work to; I didn't realize sendmail was supporting
Maildir's now (at least not without sendmail.cf hacking, which is a far
uglier propisition than I ever recommend to anyone) :)

	However, I still say qmail will eat sendmail for lunch, from both
a performance, and a system security standpoint.  I also think qmail is a
heck of a lot easier to work with from my point of view as a sysadmin,
once you get used to the 'not-like-most-unix-daemons' way it works.

	Just my $0.02.  Cheers!
