 I noticed that.

 Perhaps I over did it with having the patch remove
 smmsp:*:90:90:Sendmail Queue:/nonexistent:/nonexistent
 
 I think the rest of the patch makes good sense and fixes a number of 
 inconsistencies in the documentation.  Perhaps if the right people are 
 proded it might get applied. :)
 
 Dirk, what about ifmail using UID 70, the same as pgsql?  Wouldn't it make 
 more sense for news/ifmail to use 65 which seems to be available?
