Speaking of the whole dialup thing, one of the things Philip added to
make diong dialup interface up/down changes easier was queue_only_file,
which makes (for queue_only or remote or smtp) changes easy without
having to alter the config file (which was the problem I hit the last
time I was messign with dialup mail).
Hadn't seen mention of it, and did see several mentions of messily
changing config files, so thought I'd remind people of its existance.
