Hi Daniel, First off thanks so much for your time...I appreciate it. The Open source world never ceases to amaze me ;^) I checked out the http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail/toaster/ tute and I'd say 95% I could handle myself OK but there are a couple of "unsaid" hings or perhaps errors. I wont dare try it before I am sure I have the instructions right. Could I ask you a few questions?.... 1) Install QMAIL: I presume ".... -h mail.example.com" should be My server ? 2) VPopmail (Virtual Domain & POP) bla bla bla... "--enable-mysql-logging= ...bla bla ..=example.com" Again I presume I sub in my domain? "vi vmysql.h" What do I do in VI here ?? 3)Courier-IMAP bla bla " vi quotawarningmsg" I presume I edit it to suit? 4) Adding Mail Domains bla bla "IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';" What goes here? a password? bla bla "~vpopmail/bin/vadddomain example.com [password]" again..my domain and perhaps the password I typed instead of the 'secret' thing? 5) OK now you're ready to... bla bla "Log in with postmaster, example.com and the test password" ...You can guess my questions here I reckon! 6) Convert Multilog date stamps to human readable date stamps... " # tai64nlocal <logfile> qmaillog.tmp" ...Do I sub in something for the <logfile> thing? I know I seem a bit dopey... but it would really help so I dont screw up my machine.
