Hi,
1)
I have installed Slackware 7.0 with kernel 2.2.13 without procmail
and fetchmail, then I install qmail-1.03. Could qmail work without those
two tools (procmail or fetchmail)?
Yes (though, for the sake of full disclosure, I have no personal
experience with either).
2)
If I have installed qmail, then I telnet to mail.domain.com 25/110 is
work well, but I can't get the mail from that server, what's wrong?
(In this case I have installed/copied procmail and fetchmail from pkgtool)
I can't tell. Is mail.domain.com your machine, or your ISP's server?
If the latter, are you talking about POPping mail off that server via
fetchmail, or having the server hand it off to yours via SMTP?
Should I re-configure/re-installed qmail again?
Reinstallation is the knee-jerk response of customer support staff when
faced with the task of supporting flaky software. In the case of qmail,
reinstallation won't do you any good unless you know that the problem is
caused by something that requires it.
3)
Does Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger,
Eudora....(mail reader for MS Windows), can work with Maildir?
Thank you
Daniel
Turns out it doesn't matter, as long as Windows users POP their mail,
since qmail-pop3d supports maildir.
