Apologies not necessary. However, my example should have been broader,
as qmail is not only for GNU/Linux systems. I doubt that the creators of
Solaris, Digital UNIX, HP/SUX, AIX, et al would care much for the idea either.
Not to mention non-UNIX systems -- does qmail run on VMS? What about others?

Not sure, but probably something along these lines.
