Thanks their website is not exactly, well it reads more like a man page in
Swahili, and I'm American and cant read Swahili.
On a more serious note. There site is not very informative really. Spouting
off rfc and blah blah this and that. If it were not in mandrake already I
would never have taken the time to work with it from the way their site is.
Is there a cyrus how to or anything like the qmail.org or qmail hot to pages
that make things extremely clear if I want to look for it.
To finish up thanks for the explanation. I understand completely that it will
not send mail for that we still need postfix, qmail without pop, or shudder
sendmail. I was just not wording myself correctly. What do you use for smtp?
