I have done that and the installation still shows the 'hard error' message. > Anyway, IIRC qmail-config tries to create file /var/qmail/control/me that > contains > eris.dev.null > on my box -- use vi and put your fqdn there. > (I think it's in the docs actually.) That's true and I can easily create a file control/me with my fqdn but the problem is I am not familiar at all with qmail and that script seems to put other into in control... Anyways I guess I have no other choice but to setup the control/* files myself... any one care to give me a hand :) The purpose of installing qmail (apart from the fun of learning) is to use ti as an SMTP gateway to a heavy duty mailing list (~200,000 messages/day).
