I had it working for a little while, about 2 weeks or so, then moved
to smail3.  It is so much easier to use and maintain.  I don't remeber
exactly what I did to make it work.  I think I remeber hearing on the
net to not do an upgrade from the isc 2.2 disks, but to do a
completely new install.  If you did an upgrade maybe something got
hosed in the works.
