Hello,

First, I hope my comments were not taken as criticism of the Cyrus 
model, I like Cyrus enormously and am glad to deploy it ;)

I am working instead on a second sendmail process that listens on 
localhost to forward all mail to the master in order to avoid this 
"issue".  I might disable sendmail on the public IP of the slave 
entirely unless I need to temporarily use the slave and bring down the 
master for whatever reason.  Glad its just architectural.

Thanks again,

Chris
