fixed Debian bug 536060 (log files are closed after SIGHUP receival)
Explanation:
When run in daemon mode, first the log files are opened. They get
assigned to the file descriptors 3 and 4 usually. Then std{in,out,err}
are closed. When SIGHUP comes in, all open files are closes and
masqmail reexecutes itself. The new masqmail instance opens the log
files at fd 0 and 1 now, but std{in,out,err} are closed afterwards,
thus the log files are closed.
The fix is to close the log files before std{in,out,err} are closed,
in case the log files have higher fds. After std{in,out,err} were
closed, the log files get opened again, now.

The `old-manual' directory contains the old manual (as expected) and html versions of man pages from that time (May/July 2000). The files have been copied from the old project website. There are installation instructions for various systems available. Some of them are outdated and may not work anymore. meillo
