[wplug-bsd] new install: postfix

[Poyner, Brandon]

The 1777 protection error message is quirkiness with the c-client
library that Pine uses.  It wants to be able to create temporary lock
files in /var/mail with the user's permission level (not normally
allowed, obviously).  You can tell pine to ignore that error by enabling
quell-lock-failure-warnings in your configuration.

One last thing -- when mail gets delivered to b at ocean's mailbox, PINE 
gives me the warning "folder /var/mail must have 1777 protection" which
I 
don't understand, since if /var/mail isn't world readable then b can't 
even read his mail.
