coming fro ma sendmail background i have a few questions about the method 
that qmail does things. 1)  If a local user doesn't exist sendmail gives 
you a error when sending mail.  IE - i send mail to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED],  the local account or alias kurthb doesn't exist so 
before accepting the message for delivery sendmail says User Unknows or 
whatever it says.  Why didn't DJB have qmail do something similar.  plus 
doesn't the sendmail method cut down on the number of disk writes?  If 
somebody has a clear answer I'd love to hear it.  Maybe DJB cares to 
address it himself :-)
