That's it!!!! That's the sneaky little change in my system when smail
stopped working! :)

Well when I noticed that prob, TZ was still set in my mint cnf. But I
haven't tried it for ages. :) BUT.. I now set TZ in mint.cnf again, and
smtpd works!!!

Well setting it in mint.cnf should be enough though, no? I mean it all
worked fine when I had it there. :)

Now Pine still locks up when I send email with it, but only when I'm not
root. So I recon this is an ownership problem which I created somehow when
I reinstalled kgmd and copied my old configs back.

But finally my falcon has it's smtp services back.. thanks!! :)
