Glad you liked the install > 1. I just assumed that the scripts added the default system mail > users/aliases like root, postmaster etc. but it does not seem so.

Simply point .qmail-root, .qmail-postmaster and .qmail-mailer-daemon to whatever e-mail address you want. This is done by 'echo "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > .qmail-root'. Remember to have the & and be sure you do this for each alias. If you want to create more system aliases, do so. For example if you have a local account called admin, type 'echo "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > .qmail-admin' in /var/qmail/alias > 2.

Please advise so I > can think of how do I maintain my mail-servers. Not all distributions that are supported by QmailToaster have spamassassin and clam packages. In addition, those packages are not configured to integrate properly with the qmailtoaster, IE run via the supervise command. The spamassasin is up to date, the new version of the clamav-toaster is available at my site, http://www.kabewm.com/pages/projects/qmailtoaster.php I believe Nick hasn't had a chance to update the page, but this has been widely used by others running the QmailToaster. Anyone on this list will tell you that I am a contributor and a trustworthy source ;) Just remember, the procedure for installing the new clamav is as follows: # service qmail stop # rpm -e clamav-toaster # rpm -Uhv clamav-toaster-*.rpm # freshclam # service qmail start > 3.

Most of my rpm knowledge comes from opening up a few rpm's and looking at the examples on how things are done. Occasionally I go to rpm.org for help with macros. As far as building from source, you can always use checkinstall to register programs you build from source in the rpm database. > With best regards. > Sanjay. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
