Personally, I like postfix. It's relatively easy to configure, but then, _anything_ is easy to configure compared to sendmail. =) Postfix also doesn't have qmail's licensing issues - you are allowed to distribute modified versions of Postfix, not just patches as with qmail. This is, of course, all IMHO. > okay, the problem: > > The README said to use rpm --rebuild and I get an error saying > > [root@the45 dl]# rpm --rebuild qmail-1.03-109memphis.src.rpm > qmail-1.03-109memphis.src.rpm: No such file or directory That file doesn't exist; make sure that "qmail-1.03-109memphis.src.rpm" is the right filename and that it's in that directory. > What am I missing?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Red Hat come with an updater utility? I'd look there.
