Hmm, that "502 unimplemented (#5.5.1)" message came from qmail-smtpd
when you entered and unrecognized command. So your SMTP service was
working fine.

Did you look at /home/mcthomas/Mailbox with ls and more and see
the messages there? Or did you expect the mail command to find your
mailbox? As you've learned the hard way, the mail command has to be
told where to look.

So everything you set up using LWQ worked? Your only problem was not
telling your mail reader where your mailbox was?

No, qmail doesn't have its own mail client. It's an MTA, not an
MUA. The standard MUA's work fine with qmail.

I used the INSTALL directions, but, then, I'm an experienced system
administrator.
You say you need to compile your own instructions/fixes to get it to
work. I'd be happy to work with you to incorporate any changes
necessary into LWQ.
