Well, Thomas, that takes us one step closer, I suppose.

After making this change, I no longer get the pbscheck errors, but qmail
still isn't querying from ldap as per our expectations.   No ldap message is
being sent across the wire, and the SMTP request isn't being authenticated
for relaying.  :(

Arrg... this is so frustrating.

Oh well.   Thanks for your help guys...   If you can think of anything else,
please let me know.
