He did, and pretty fast and constructive as usual. kudos for him

Yup it does support, that and in a very smooth and polished way if I may say
so.
As far as I can tell baruwa does everything mailwatch can and a bit more.
The features of baruwa are slowly increasing and bugs are being patched.
The fact that baruwa is still maintained is the primary reason for me to
dump mailwatch in favor of baruwa.
Baruwa documentation is also a lot better than mailwatch documentation. (not
a very big challenge I admit)

I've got mailwatch humming on a sles box as well, but since novell/sless
licenses are insanely difficult to obtain due to bureaucracy in this company
we are switching to ubuntu LTS.
After baruwa holds up for some weeks that sles machine will get reinstalled
with ubuntu and baruwa.
