I have an aversion to installing qmail from RPMS. Building from source
is not too difficult.

Follow these simple instructions

    - grab the source from

        http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html

    - create the groups "qmail" and "nofiles"

    - create the users

        alias
        qmaild
        qmaill
        qmailp
        qmailq
        qmailr
        qmails
    
    - build the backage

        make

    - install the package

        /bin/su root -c "make setup check"

You now have a working qmail install. You can now start creating
aliases in ~alias/.qmail-*
