Just some random thoughts from looking at the package:

* usually the /usr/lib/lib*.so links go in the -devel package and only the 
lib*.so.* stuff in the runtime package

* change the init script to
	# chkconfig: - 86 16
Just because someone installed the program doesn't mean it should be 
autorun at boot, especially when it opens up half the ports on the system
and runs as root :-)

* really should be built to run as a non-root user
./autogen.sh --with-user=hula
add the hula user and group in %pre

* a lot of the paths look odd. /var/netmail? /var/mdb? And none of that 
is in the spec %files?

* cert generation seems broken. If your IP is 1.2.3.4, the generated cert 
is for host 4.3.2.1

* shipping with a default admin account and password (admin / hula) is not 
a good idea

later,
