My advice: stay away from qmail. Anything that requires a big pile of patches just to make it usable doesn't belong on your computer. And I probably get more backscatter spam from those cursed qmail systems than from everything else combined -- if it were up to me, qmail would be illegal. If you want something like qmail, but done right, try Courier. If you want extreme configurability, try Exim. But I don't think that's really the answer to the original post -- I think there's something more fundamental going on there. - Bob
