I agree. Very handy indeed. It also explains how to use
tcpserver by virtue of showing some real examples. On
their own, DJB's docs are too obtuse for me 8(.

His instructions use the FreeBSD ports collection (a
bit like Linux RPMS) and some packages (a bit like 
Linux RPM) to install or prepare some of the bits and
pieces:

# pkg_add -r ispell
# pkg_add -r gdbm
# pkg_add -r autorespond
# pkg_add -r setquota
# cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail; make enable-qmail clean
# cd /usr/ports/mail/qmailanalog; make install clean

and also to create various users and groups.

# pw groupadd -n vchkpw -g 90
# pw useradd -n vpopmail -u 90 -g 90 -c Vpopmail-Master -d /usr/home/vpopmail -s 
/sbin/nologin
# pw groupadd -n www -g 91
# pw useradd -n www -u 91 -g 91 -c https -d /usr/local/www -s /sbin/nologin

Also, fetch is standard with FreeBSD, but not standard
*NIX. Apart from that, patching and building seems
normal.

It was simple to convert the toaster into a shell script,
using sed or echo to hack or create config files instead
of pico/vi/emacs/whatever.

I have not used it completely successfully, but that
is because I was trying to do the same install but with
no MySQL support, intending to use only LDAP. So my bad.

However, courier-imap is a PITA and will not co-operate.
I find the docs impenetrable at the moment so I'm sitting
back for a couple of days while I decide whether I should
bend over and use MySQL or try again ;).
