  Remco,

  Since smail didn't run at all I switched from smail to exim. I don't have
  the setting to try again now, but it failed with an really up-to-date system
  at the time... Also the maintainer didn't fix some unalignment bugs. This
  causes the program to dump at least 4 lines of warnings every time a mail
  gets processed. Maybe this is a program you don't want to run anymore on a
  busy production server anyway under these conditions... (fix is in BTS
  and mailed some 5+ times as well).
