Well, I'm not much of a qmail expert either (which is one reason my
original patch didn't use the method you're using now). My opinion
of the .qmail-default solution is based on my personal dislike of
lots and lots of dotfiles in one directory. (Similar, I think, to
the opinions about excessive symlinks in /etc under certain OS's...)

I updated, and that fixed the problem I was having.
Another suggestion: would it be possible to allow the user to
configure $whereami during installation, rather than just silently
setting it to the domain? The installation script says the domain
"names" can be any arbitrary identifiers, which isn't actually true,
since they get stuck into $whereami (or at least as far as I can
tell). Alternatively, the docs should be updated...
