hehe.... I don't want to drag this further out either, but I do have to
say this: Neither djbdns nor qmail are single developer projects. Maybe
in terms of who wrote the original code, but there are a lot of folks
out there contributing to both, djbdns and qmail, through the means of
patches. 

Matter the fact, if one visits qmail.org and reviews the web site and
all the patches available for qmail, one will realize that there is a
real community out there caring, patching, and developing qmail.

Cheers,
Frank (who prefers to copy 'host files' over ssh for djbdns... ;)
