Hello
Thanks for responses
Here are some more informations.
Here is the line that starts smptpd in /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail, start
section :
------------------------------------
daemon /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -x/etc/tcprules.smtp.cdb -u5100
-g5151 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
------------------------------------
Must qmail-smtpd appear in ps result ? "ps auxfw" just says :

There is a warning every two minutes !!
It's the first time I (try to) install a mail server, and I'm a bit lost
with all these files...
My goal is to have a mail server for a local network with lot of win9x
and a not-permanent
connection to Internet (ppp to ISP). We now have FTGate under NT, I say
to my boss that
Linux is cheaper, more stable, well, just better than NT...
I'm sure that I can replace the FTGate by qmail. :-)
