.SH BUGS
Failure to open any mail transport configuration file is silently
ignored. Therefore, it's best to avoid dynamic creation of such
a file with the intent of use via the
-.B MHMTSCONF
+MHMTSCONF
or
-.B MHMTSUSERCONF
+MHMTSUSERCONF
environment variables. If such use is necessary, the ability
to successfully open the file should first be verified.
