Hello, Amitai!

Looks great!  Thank you for writing acceptutils!  I'm very interested in
using it and your other patches!

Feedback:

* The before-and-after diagram is excellent, but it's not immediately
  clear to me what the colored-border-with-white-background ovals mean.
  I initially thought the red border meant "setuid root," but then I
  wasn't sure what an orange or green border would mean compared to an
  orange or green background.

* It would be helpful to have documentation on the config file format.
  But I assume that's what you're writing, or you're holding off on
  writing it until you're fairly confident the format won't change.

Feedback beyond acceptutils:

* I would love it if you documented some common best-practice setups
  for real-world scenarios.  This would be great for acceptutils, but I
  really mean it as something that would put all, or a sensible subset
  of, your patches together into a working setup.  I'd love something
  like, "here's a nice setup for a small office," or "here's a nice
  setup for running your own mail server" that shows your patches put
  together into a sensible and secure setup.

* It would also be really nice if I knew an easy way to get all your
  patches.  You do mention some of your pkgsrc packages at

    https://schmonz.com/qmail/

  but it would be cool if you added a note for each patch saying it was
  included in pkgsrc package foo by default or as an option.

Thanks again!
