You know, qmail is the only MTA in the portage tree that does not
rebuild it's queue structure automagically.  Maybe we should look at
making an ebuild for one of the "qmail-queue-fixer programs" and just
have qmail-sumo (great name BTW) install that as well.  Heck, we could
even have it called from the init script -- so that it's seamless to the
end user.

For the record, I would prefer having the correct number of messages
reported by qstat.  Last thing we want to be is known as the distro that
couldn't get qmail right.  8)
