Well it seems I must go to Postfix.. What I needed was a version 5.9 as distributed not a hero's advanced version already heading to 6.0. That is for developers and I respect them but they are not for me: I'm not that smart. There are some (apart from the 5.9+ code) which are not for me as they are (a) not 5.9 code or (b) not polished trying to try for 5.9 I would love to see someone reply telling me that I have bad eyes and a 5.9 is running and it's getting it correct. Meanwhile I have to bring up a new server and Postfix seems to be the only candidate. At least I can build a mailserver that works on that. Sorry for the noise....
