Read FAQ #5.4. You have two choice inetd or tcpserver. A lot of people recommend tcpserver available from www.qmail.org. I use inetd without any problems (yet) though. Also read : The newbie's guide to relaying by Chris Johnson : http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html and life with qmail by David Sill : http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html You should definitely browse through http://www.qmail.org regards, Wilson On Friday, June 04, 1999 9:07 PM, Robert Schader [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > Hello all, > I am new to qmail and am working on migrating to it from a system > called Post.Office from www.software.com.
