Haven't played with qmail, but we were handed postfix on some managed linux servers. Years of experience with sendmail made me dread learning another monsterous system. Actually I just went down the config file and did the obvious things and it worked. It even relayed mail under the desired domain name without me having to spend three days living on fermented yak's milk in a hidden lamastary performing weird and unsettling chicken sacrificing ceremonies to the Great Old Ones. The O'Reiley book is comprehensible and the index takes you to the right page. On the whole I feel as if I have slipped into a parallel universe where email is a simple technological matter, not a deep religious mystery. -- Mail me as MYFIRSTNAME@MYLASTNAME.org.uk _O_ |<
