Happy new year, everybody!

I'm running a qpsmtpd 0.32-4 on an otherwise Debian Sarge box, and I've 
noted a problem, I don't know if this is me, is a problem with the 
package version I'm using, or is the desired behaviour. I hope someone 
(Devin?) can clarify:

The problem I'm seeing is that the qmail package binds something to port 
25 before qpsmtpd gets the chance, so by just installing those, it 
hasn't worked for me. 

A temporary workaround for me has been to stop qmail, then restart 
qpsmtpd and start qmail. Then, qpsmtpd will answer on port 25, and 
everything Just Works. A more permanent workaround is to reorder the 
rc2.d scripts. Now, it looks like this:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 15 2006-11-21 18:49 S20qmail -> ../init.d/qmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 2006-11-21 20:12 
S20qpsmtpd -> ../init.d/qpsmtpd

which results in qmail being run before qpsmtpd. Perhaps qpsmtpd could 
be S19qpsmtpd? 

All this feel very workaroundish to me, but this is the situation as far 
as I understand it. Advice from people with deeper understanding would 
be appreciated. 

Cheers,

Kjetil
