I'm amenable to it, if someone wants to talk the Avalon folks into it.  I
suppose we are saying that the elements from the two files are merged.
Duplicates are ignored, but new children are added.  This might be easier
with a DOM than SAX, but since I'm not planning to code it, it fall into the
NMP category.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] RemoteDelivery with sendpartial config settings

this makes sense - with the segregation one would also try
to isolate the parameters that can get changed or modified
by SMTP server administrators in the normal course of
business.

one of the things that come to mind are -
port address
delay time-spans
modifications to the CIDR ranges

all of which are adjusted to either fine tune or restict
access.

when the con fig file needs to be modified often, if one
could isolate these 'user configurable's, we could minimize
the changes of corruption.
