Have a backup, but still seems it would be preferrable to have a .rpmnew

one?
I completely agree. I think the overwriting of files with no .rpmnew is a really bad idea.

I guess I could look into submitting a patch for this via Mantis :)  That's
what open source is all about right?

FWIW, the new upgrade script (see http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Upgrading) handles backup and restore of configuration files automatically. At this point, though, it only does upgrading from the main web site. I'm guessing that you needed a version from the development site.

Maybe I should enhance the upgrade script to optionally grab newer versions from the devel site. What do people think of this feature?
