The problem with the above is that the people who did the work did
enough for it to work in their configuration and dropped it in..
Having recently fixed some of this, it's clear that they didn't bother
to test starting/stopping parts of sendmail and more complicated
configurations...
This is standard stuff that needs to be maintained... and I don't belive
dma will magicly fix stuff like the above... It just means someone will
rewrite it with a new set of bugs...
