New to list, new to qmail (running a test box right now and still
trying to decide whether to switch frm sendmail).
Anyway, while on this thread it has occurred to me to ask why put qmail
in either inetd or tcpserver? Why not run it as a daemon? At the
moment my test box is running it in inetd because I did a quick
cookbook install. I didn't see anything, off hand anyway, that told me
how to do that. Coming from the sendmail world, that would be my
initial preference (especially since the box would be dedicated to
email anyway).
