It might be good to note that almost nobody needs to be running qmail or sendmail. Open relays created by bad installations of either are what make a lot of spammers happy. Qmail is the second most common mail transport agent, behind sendmail, on the Internet. Mac OS X comes with sendmail, but it's turned off by default. What both programs do is allow your machine to become an SMTP server rather than just a client. Neither one is needed to read or send your e-mail. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 25. The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>.
