       Make the rewrite never match and keep the logging.  Trust the
       admin to be using verify=header-syntax (to actually reject the message).
 
+JH/05 Follow symlinks for placing a watch on TLS creds files.  This means
+      (under Linux) we watch the dir containing the final file; previously
+      it would be the dir with the first symlink.  We still do not monitor
+      the entire path.
