P.O Upgrade Problem

Howdy:

   Unfortunately, after my install of the recent P.O update ( 
Post.Office-3.5.3b19 ) somehow the "Restrict Mail Relaying" settings got 
wiped out, allowing a SPAMmer to sneak through.

   I think we reset them to what they were before the install, but am not 
sure, any suggestions?

   Also, the "Pop-before-SMTP" setting was left on, but obviously was 
ineffective ( it didn't seem to work in the previous version either ).

   Another thing I noticed, though it existed on the previous version of 
P.O ( per my tests ) also, concerns the documented method for starting 
P.O.

   According to the HTML docs the following command should be executed 
from root:

        /usr/local/post.office/post.office startup

   Unfortunately it results in the following:

pop_before_smtp db =/var/spool/post.office/pop-before-smtp/PopHosts
Startup Problem:
Invalid command line option
post.office Exiting!

   Not good, no P.O running!

   Fortunately, a complete system re-boot DOES successfully start 
Post.Office, though the above may explain why Pop-before-SMTP doesn't 
work.

   Tenon's help in these matters would be greatly appreciated.

Glenn
