As best I can tell, the smtpd.conf file is no longer expected in
/usr/lib/sasl and upon rpm install noticed that it was renamed
to smtpd.conf.rpmsave but was not replaced with anything.  In
what directory should it be?

First, let me thank all those involved in putting together the rpms and
the great Mandrake distribution. And now:

<RANT>  Why in blazes did the location of smtpd.conf move, if in fact
that is my problem.  I know that the SSL certificate for ipop3sd.pem
moved to /etc/ssl/imap.  However, I just looked at the docs that came
with the rpm to find out where to move it and fix pop3s.  Would it be
possible to include a README.rpm or README.rpm.watchout file in the
docs directory giving me a clue as to what I need to do.  I have spent
all day googling to find out WHAT CHANGED to break smtpd + SASL.

I spent quite a few nervous hours when I could not boot my system.  It
seems the developers of LILO decided that if you specify a software
raid device (boot=/dev/md0) that they should NOT write to the MBR like
they did in the previous versions.  You have to add:
raid-extra-boot="/dev/hda,/dev/hdc" to write to the MBR.
</RANT>

AH, I feel better now.  But truly, thanks for all the hard work you guys
put in to make things easier for us.

Thanks in advance,

Bill Shirley
