I was afraid of just "eyeballing it" and really screwing it up. No, I
don't know exactly what I am doing, I am LEARNING, that is why I asked for
help with a qmail related issue which is what I thought the purpose of this
list was. If you have problems answering a question politely, don't bother
saying anything at all. I realize this list can sometimes get repeative,
but I made the effort to search the list archives and nothing was said about
this except for a few unanswered requests for help. Someone even told me "
don't bother this mailing list" with this question.
I don't understand how a question pertaining to qmail (ie patching the
source) does not belong on this list and why replies to questions have to
terse or even down right rude. Don't get me wrong, people like Dave Sill
and Ken Grieve have been very helpful and patient but others of you only
gone out of your way to be rude. I am not trying to start a flame war a la
"linuxpeople", I am just asking for some common courtsey.

Gaaa! Please remember such fundemental things next time!
Yes this is why it failed. As is usually the case, patches are against
UNTOUCHED sources. The qmailqueue patch needs to be against the original
1.03 sources, otherwise you _might_ get some failures, depending on what
other patches you've already put on it.
People who do this alot obviously have to know enough about what they're
doing that they can work around such failures - usually you just eyeball it
and work it out.
