I will most likely be creating a qmail-pop3d sub-package in the near
future so that if you don't want pop3, it doesn't come enabled by
default. I've made a new qmail package today and it defaults to
running the pop3 server but only allowing connections from the localhost.

Can't comment on this because I don't use NIS, however if you have any
suggestions, I'm open to hear them. =)

These are the instructions on my webpage? Hmmm... I'll change the
documentation to fix that. I've never had a problem with doing it
that way (the dependencies should be fine... the only thing that needs
the qmail users pre-installed is the fastforward package, which
requires qmail, so qmail itself will be installed first). I tried to
be as careful as possible with this, so if you could let me know
exactly what went wrong, I'd appreciate the info.

Done. =) Thanks to your helpful email, there is now a qmail-qmqp
sub-package for qmqp support.
