Thanks, but if it does, I haven't found the info.  This is the closest 
I've come to finding what you suggest, and it requires a patch to 
postfix, which I don't particularly care to do.  Right now I've got it 
running under OpenPKG, and don't really want to make the upgrade process 
more complicated than my current "openpkg build -Ua > update.sh" then 
"sh update.sh".
