I recall some time back there was much discussion about

having a linux distrobution with qmail rather than

sendmail. This, to me, makes more sense than I have

time for here. I also recall there being much debate

about Redhat wishing to do this, yet, for various

reasons this did not happen.

Every Redhat server I set up I need to go throuth the

process of ridding the system of sendmail and istalling qmail.

I use the memphis rpm and wrote up a simple install script

to to do this with. Then i thought how much easier this would

be if the rpms were part of the distribution rather and

installed during setup, rather than laboriously uninstalling

sendmail ( and applications that depend on sendmail)

So I started piecing together my own redhat clone (yes,

yet another) and would like to know what I need to do

to have qmail included with this distribution.

Did anything positive result from the experience with redhat?

What obligations do people have when distributing qmail?

All thoughts and suggestion gratefully accepted
