Yeah, I use it. However, for small sites the additional delay created by having
mail first spooled into outq just complicates matters. Even that said, I still
use it on my small site :-)

Also, each mail message is terminated by a line containing a single period.
Maybe this *could* cause problems? If some RFC stipulates that such a line
