Wow. That doesn't sound good! =(
I'm actually totally surprised. I _honestly_ thought this would have
been a common migration process. You're telling me *nobody* has ever
upgraded from sendmail to QT, on the same machine?
I will need to find _some_ solution. What are my options, as painful as
they might be?
