Hadley,

I ripped out the 7.2.1 installation (wiring and all) and built 7.3.2 from
source. It's now happily ensconced in the proper directories. All I need do
is get the right file into /etc/rc.d/init.d/ so the postmaster will fire up
again on reboot.

Which brings me to ask: Where are the pdf docs for 7.3.2? I go to the Web
site and follow the download -> docs -> current links to find docs for 7.2,
not 7.3. Are they hidden away somewhere?

TIA,

Rich
