I guess it doesn't matter to much, my problem was solved, and if the
only consequence was that I might have to type the extra 15 characters
apprx.(make -C /etc/mail) to do the same thing, it was O.K. by me saved
me much grief, in trying to guess blindly about how to accomplish what I
wanted accomplished. So anyways Thanks again to all who helped out on
this one, I am running dovecot/sendmail and am happy all is well ;).
