Should be ok - exmh is part of any standard linux distro. PCQ redhat has
a reasonably new version - and so SuSe is sure to have it.
Search rpmfind and you'll find any number of 'em.
Frankly, I think exmh is just an attempt to mimic what xemacs does in
reading MH folders. As you already have XEMacs running, don't fsck around
downloading exmh.
Even the interface is a bit similar btw.

What was the problem? Most office networks run with trivial stuff -
1. all mailhosts to be in sendmail.cw, all hosts you accept relay from to
be in relay-domains (the equivalent of the old CR field in sendmail.cf)
...
2. Good DNS (or at least hosts file entries) for everything

qmail has one major hassle - it tries to open a new connection for every
single mail sent to a domain.
that is, instead of
mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
....
....
it does
mail from:
rcpt to:
mail from:
rcpt to:
for each damned mail. (IIRC)

Readymade templates - like the muttrcs and .emacs files you get on the
websites. Just save the file to your disk, make some minor changes and you
are up and running.
