No, I don't think so.  You'll probably have to change a couple things,
but nothing serious. (I think! :)

Basically, the default should work in both cases (5.8.8, oort)

Right, I see now.

Right, and this should be one of those settings which just works.  I
wonder if there are some problems due to you using Windows?  Does
movemail work on windows?

copy your spool file to a temp file, and test movemail:

cp /var/spool/mail/pdavis /tmp/foo
movemail /tmp/foo /tmp/bar

check to see if /tmp/bar has the contents of your spool file.  Making
sure movemail works and is in your path would be a good thing to do, I
think.

Hope that helps,
