That's a longstanding annoyance, yes. I'm not yet really familiar with=20
the Net::Server framework and I'll have to find if making it switch to=20
the default group of the specified user is easily doable (if I can=20
remove some configuration the user needs to think about, I prefer doing=20
so). If not I'll gladly take your patch.

The documentation doesn't reflect my intent. I saw numerous mail servers=20
retrying under the 5 minute delay and all of them tried after the 5=20
minute delay too. So I saw no reason to delay these servers. I'll update=20
the documentation :-)
