Rene,
The QmailToaster does not include every single patch out there, it
only includes the best of breed combined with the most critical for
Qmail to be used in today's Internet. There is no reason why this
patch wasn't included, aside from the fact that it wasn't requested
very often.
As I rearchitect the current setup to the new binary distribution, I
will have time to revisit these patches and see if there are some
patches to consider.
The 1.4 branch is going slowly, but steady. I don't want to screw up
the upgrade for people, so I am trying to map things out and implement
things in the right way.
In the meantime 1.3 branch will stay frozen with only upstream
software changes happening.
Thanks,
Erik
