My production server is also happily running on RHEL4 (x86_64).

You might find MySQL based auth easier to maintain but that's up to you.

In my installation logname is set but it is blank. To find out what
variables exist at execution time add a line like this:

`set > set.txt`

This will create a file named set.txt in the user's home directory after
a message is delivered. It will show you what variables are available
for your use. For my setup, $RECIPIENT and $USER seem to get set to the
users full address, you may need to import these variables though, try:

import RECIPIENT
import USER
`set > set.txt`
