Hi All - First, thanks to all the LEAF developers for their fine work! I just
went looking through the packages to see if there was an MTA for Bering-uClibc
without success. I then searched the archives and found this: >Re: [leaf-user]
Bering-uClibc: qmail ???

Looking at http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html, it seems that D.J. Bernstein
changed his mind since Martin's post was written and placed qmail in the public
domain, so qmail could be compiled and distributed for Bering-uClibc now. I
have several uses for an MTA for mail relaying, so it would be wonderful if
someone with a development environment could compile one. However, I don't
have any experience with qmail -- maybe there's another MTA that would be
better? Merrick Munday
