Follow its instructions, choosing to use tcpserver and multilog, and skipping xinetd/inetd and splogger/syslog. When you're done the main installation, and have tested qmail proper, remove any reference to SMTP or POP3 in your inetd/xinetd configuration and restart or HUP inetd/xinetd. Stop sendmail and verify qmail-smtpd works. Then do `rpm -e sendmail --nodeps`.

I'm sure this is going to receive mixed responses. Sendmail has _more_ features than any other MTA in existence. if sendmail has any limitations, it is due to YOUR lack of knowledge. I commend you for wanting to try qmail, but please understand the difference between "sendmails limitations" and "My current knowledge and ability with sendmail" this is a huge difference.

Re: QMail and VPOPMAIL on RedHat 7.1
I was in the same boat a few days ago. I found the howto at http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html most helpful. The only thing I missed was to either a) Get rid of xined all togheter b) Disable its services for POP, SMTP, IMAP I chose a) as I didn't want telnet or FTP anyway (at least for now). The server is set up and happy, though I don't have it in full production yet (though that's for nontechnichal reasons). Honestly, getting bind up and running was much harder for me than qmail itself. - Original Message - From: Darcy Pierlot To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 4:30 PM Subject: QMail and VPOPMAIL on RedHat 7.1 I'm a complete newbie to qmail who is so sick of sendmail's limitations = that I'm looking for alternatives.
