qmail? I think that truth applies to *nix in general. 7 out of 10 of
my hair-pulling puzzles have boiled down to =permissions=.
And I'll take that as a compliment to qmail. Here, in Vermont, I
have seen people frame houses with a chainsaw. Real Fast. Efficient
in the hands of an expert, dangerous in the hands of a novice.
Seems to be true for a lot of thing....qmail, Linux, guns, power tools, cars...

PS. Not that I am trying to be arrogant....I did perhaps 80-100
re-installs of linux/qmail/apache/etc on my server (because I was
trying to automate it with a script) before I got it right and knew
what I was doing, and I sawed off my root a lot.
