> Bill Shupp's patch plus Matt Simerson's Mail-Toaster Perl-library still make a difference.
I totally agree. Shupp has made installing qmail a breeze; just follow the bouncing ball. The patches that are included, along with supplementary programs, makes for a very strong server. Maybe my needs are meager, only a couple hundred users, but this install was painless if you followed the instructions. I manage 6 other qmail installs and each one started off as a 'Life With qmail' installs and I've since migrated them all to Shupp Toasters. Management, for me, is a joy and I enjoy the simplicity of it.
I also want to point out that qmail is just a 'tool'. If that tool makes you productive by all means use it. If it doesn't then look for a better tool. And if you've found a tool that works for you, spend more time enjoying how that tool is saving you time instead of wasting that time bashing someone else's tool.

You can also use 'svc' to send the ALRM signal:
# svc -a
