The author has included explicit step by step instructions for installing qmail with the source tarball.Download it from his site directly and follow the instructions in the text files INSTALL.*. (or go here: http:// www.qmail.org/man/index.html, look for the INSTALL.* files near the bottom of the page). You'll end up with a *much* better understanding of what's going on by doing it this way. --devin smith To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
