	I've got to comment on this one.  _any_ mta is going to
have problems if DNS is mis-configured.  I don't think that
qmail would do any better in this case.

	I will agree that trying to use wrapper scripts around
_any_ configuration file can be fraught with danger. (in fact, I
_hate_ to use them, because they end up getting in my way..)
