May I suggest that "restart" be changed for "reload", which has the same ef=
fect regarding logfile rotation, does not require the passphrase to be re-e=
ntered, and is less harsh overall.<br><br> postrotate<br> =

must be some definition of fine I was not previously aware of.

I really, really don't want to special case around broken MUAs. I'm
far more likely to block them entirely than do that.
Far better to just have them use reportbug... or complain to hotmail
for sending totally broken text/plain.
