I looked into it, and I've actually used it before... =) I set it up
on my dad's firewall to forward to qmail and apache and proftpd on a
secondary linux server so I know it works... =)

Wierd... considering it's working for ftp/smtp/pop3/http, maybe it's
a configuration issue? Or something wierd with icq.

Compiles fine, installs fine except for a few uid/gid issues... once
those are resolved, I think it'll be ready for prime time. This is
how I'm doing it:
qmail package installs without any patches, as per the license.
A qmail-source package installs the source and patches and a script
that will apply all patches and compile. I'll have to figure out the
dependencies and whatnot still, but so far so good... the compile
script is half done... gimme a few more days and it'll all be ready
to play with.
