Ok if any of you guys are on plesk and want to patch qmail, I have
managed to get an archive from sw-soft with all of the patches which
they apply as default. This means you can re-compile with any
additional patches which you require. Drop me an email if you want a
copy. I have also convinced them to add a check user patch to their
next release.
