This is going (hopefully) to be my last post in this thread. I wanted to let you guys know that I got qmail working, and it successfully transfers mail! :D Thanks to all of you who posted links, gave me tips, yelled at me for not understanding, and so forth. :) I finally got it running, and I learned something. :) Thanks again guys. ;) See ya around.
