Hi folks,

For too long, dbmail-users would bomb out if -n/-y were used. All
actions simply were executed without the -y required to make changes.
I've changed that in SVN, for the 2.2.3 release to have the new
behavior.

I want to give a heads up that wrapper scripts will be impacted because
with DBMail >= 2.2.3, you must issue a -y to cause anything to happen. 

Bad news is that if you are *expecting* the upcoming 2.2.3 dbmail-users
safety check behavior and use DBMail <= 2.2.2, and issue the wrong
options, you get what you typed, like it or not.

More bad news is that DBMail <= 2.2.2 dbmail-users will bomb out if you
give either of -n/-y. This means that wrapper scripts will have to be
written to live on one side of the version break or the other.

My apologies to anybody who is inconvenienced by this change. It's
something I'd like to get released sooner rather than later so that I
can sleep better knowing that nobody is accidentally 'dbmail-users -e'
themselves into empty mailbox oblivion.

Aaron
