I might suggest the QMTISO if you are starting from scratch. It's
$20.00, download the iso burn it to a cd and in 30 minutes or so you
have a fully functioning qmail mail server with all of the bells and
whistles at your fingertips. You spend 30 minutes after the initial
install running your updates and creating your accounts and you move on
to your next project. IMHO this is a no brainer if you don't have to
keep your existing OS.

After several days of trying to update yellow dog linux so I could
install qmail toaster I finally gave up on the update process and
started over with fedora. I was to the point where I had to re-compile
the kernel in order to upgrade other required package versions before
installing the mail server. Anyway...moving on. I now have fedora
installed (albeit much slower than yellow dog) and I've been able to
install qmailtoaster up to a point. I'm currently stuck on
spamassassin compiling and, after many searches on the net and your
mailing lists (5 entries which lead nowhere), I cannot find any
specifics on the package perl-forward-compat. The only thing I can
figure the problem to be is maybe the package name was changed?

Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] ppc install?
A quick poke at http://rpmfind.net came up with dkms and fuse for the
ppc architecture. Perhaps it will have others you seek?
In the past I've had luck with rpm.pbone.net <http://rpm.pbone.net>,
but a scan there didn't come up with any immediately obvious
candidates for ppc. Still, it may be worth some further digging.

Good to know. Unfortunately, and expectedly, I cannot find yellow
dog linux updates to make it current so I'm going to have to
update every package the hard way without yum. If anyone knows a
dependable ppc source RPM site to make this easier I'm all ears.

Hello all. I've been away for quite a while and haven't
followed qmailtoaster's progress very closely. I am now
getting back into it and I'd like to update a very old
qmailtoaster (2004) install but I'm uncertain if the hardware
is still supported. I have a ppc that I'd like to reuse for
this purpose but, after a couple of days, I can't find
anything that says it is still supported. In the past I
remember I used to pass redhat arguments to the rpms during
install but with the new OS advancements ppc support may be
just a memory. Machine specs are below:
Machine - PPC power tower pro
OS - yellow dog linux 4.0 (redhat variant)
I did find one reference to ppc in the mailing lists but it
was vague. It might have been a reference to a client not the
server. Any suggestions are of course welcomed.
Welcome back!
The build flags you used then will still work today. You will need
to use the cnt40 flag for your particular case, since that will be
CentOS 4 which is (almost) the same as Yellow Dog 4 (if I remember
correctly), or you can use rht90 which will compile for generic
Redhat 9.0.
I unfortunately do not have any PPC hardware (nor even a copy of
YD4!) to test on, so please post back here on any updates/progress
you make.
