Gordon, I took my first look at 5.5 tonight.  Install went well.  No
problems.

I have some comments on mailfront.

Obtuse SMTPD permitted restricting incoming mail to the valid user account
level. As I understand it, this is no longer possible.

Obtuse SMTPD permitted a robust list of exclusions for blocking senders.  
As I understand it, exclusion by valid e-mail address or domain is all that
is possible now.

>From what I can see, this looks like a step backwards as compared to Obtuse
SMTPD.

I wonder if you can comment on why mailfront is thought to be better or, is
there 'something' else coming that may return the functionality that now
appears missing.

Regards,
