BTW, sorry about flaming you for RTFM'ing Ralf.  Still, there are name
tags, and you can say http://lifewithdjbdns.org/#dnscachex .

Big-todo is essential if you are running your server close to its
ability to delivery messages.  Sometimes you will go over its ability,
and then the todo/intd directories grow extremely large.  Most local
filesystems I've seen don't deal well with directories over 20,000
entries.

Besides which, the documentation is horribly out of date.  inetd
shouldn't be mentioned.  People should be told to use daemontools.
Qmail needs a setup program like tinydns and dnscache have.

It's all very well and good to insist that people use constant path
names, which Dan does.  But it's a pain when I get on a customer's
machine and I have to start grovelling around to see how they're
starting qmail.  If qmail-1.04 said "start qmail from
/service/qmail/run", then I wouldn't have to waste my time and my
customer's money.
