So which versions DO work properly together?
I started from a clean install of SuSE 7 downloaded all the latest (I
assume) versions of qmail et al. Everything works except qmailadmin to
which I cannot log in, I just get CGI errors after the login screen. It
doesn't matter what I put in. I may of course have made a mistake in the
build as there are a few configuration parameters to get wrong.
I am still having problems.
