However, if you want or need an actual statement on the subject, look at
www.qmail.org. At the end of the first paragraph is a statement that qmail
is Y2K-compliant, with a link to a (slightly) expanded explanation.
This may be comforting to show to PHBs. However, Russ, if that statement is
intended for PHBs, you might want to consider tarting it up a bit, just to
comfort them a bit more. (Not that we personally care if a PHB is
comfortable, but one who feels comfortable about qmail is more likely to OK
its use in his or her organization, which is good for qmail.)
(PHB = Pointy-Haired Boss, a reference to _Dilbert_. A pointy-haired boss
is one with little brain but much power in the company's pecking order, and
who actually makes decisions about the software to be used based on
statements from the software company's marketing divisions.)

hired gun /n./
A contract programmer, as opposed to a full-time staff member. All
the connotations of this term suggested by innumerable spaghetti
Westerns are intentional.
