raqfaq error in RAQ4 instructions

[Jonothon Ortiz (Xnext, Inc)]

The q(x) point ws something I brought up to the RaQFaQ people before and
they didn't pay attention to it, for some odd reason. I don't think it's
been updated in awhile.

It's where they refer to /var/spool/mqueue/q(x). If prefer to flatten it
back to the standard /var/spool/mqueue directory with no subdirectories.

It's just more "normal". Having split queue subdirectories and only using 1
of them, seems a bit unusual to me.

They would just have to tweak the 1 line in sendmail.cf.

But it's up to you which you go for. I think you need to be a bit more
explicit about the config lines you advise people to change. "q(x)" isn't
as obvious as just saying "q1" for example.
