Someone got a consultant to work for "several WEEKS" for 200 lousy bucks?
So lemme get this right. They got stung badly by hiring someone who knew
virtually nothing about qmail install and didn't have the courage to admit
they knew nothing.
Having been burnt by a dishonest and incompetent consultant they are now...

handing that job over to someone who sounds like they have never done a
single qmail install?
Suggestions:
1. Get a real consultant (there are a number on www.qmail.org who can give
real references and have credibility that can be checked on this list)
2. Ask them to teach you the things you want to know about qmail and the
associated tools
3. Pay them real money for the site analysis, the installation, the
follow-up support and the training.
Presumably you get paid for the skills you do have, why not pay someone for
the skills you don't have yet?
Regards.
