fwiw, on the netqmail page there is a statement that DJB has approved
this patch in a wording which I took to mean that he has explicitly
given permission for this package, including that patch, to be
distributed. I've not yet looked into it, but was under the impression
that the netqmail package should be a drop-in replacement for the stock
qmail sources. Iow, the user should not have to use patch himself.

I didn't want to confuse this with the binary distrubution issue, but
pointing these installer packages which float around to netqmail
instead of stock qmail should solve at least half the problem. NB: I
don't actually use netqmail yet...


Best,
