Fair enough!  (I'm not sure this expression is appropriate in this case, 
but I always wanted to use it.  Hehe)

I'm adding those macros myself, too, they might come handy despite of 
having the crontab entry set.  My reasoning would be that if I forget to 
flush the queue once for important mail and cron does it for me and 
saves the day, it'd be worth having the cron job trying every hour or so 
(doing nothing is computationally cheap).
