That's kind of what I was thinking, too.  The only thing I can't get
my head wrapped around is how to have only the request type of
messages (moderate, subscribe, etc) go to one qmail install, but have
the messages themselves sent from the second install.  Maybe that's
what happens with the 'env QMAILQUEUE' lines in your post.  If so,
could you explain it a little bit more?
