[afnog] Self induced Mail Server (POP) crash and recovery.

[Ismail M. Settenda]

True thks,

Thou the daily backup had only conf file from /etc and /usr/local/etc/.
Further more some how had not thot of backing up;
/usr/local/mailman and /usr/local/www/webmail (I have added now)

So with the conf files backed up the MTA came up fine but I still needed to
re-install the O.S all over.
