Same config (apart from a DS25 instead of DS20e).

Alsp have the SMTP and SMTP_1 queues apart from the "old" _00 and
_01 (stopped) queues.

Now, I send mails trough a Python hack (since TCPIP SMTP doesn
do AUTH), so I have not noticed this. neither have I run
the "rollover tool" that Jeff Goodwin pointed to.

I guess that they added SMTP parameters to the setup and it
was easier to put them in a text file instead of changing the
internal format of the SET CONFIG database...
