Qmail is kind of a difficult install. Some of the references I used were: www.qmail.org http://smarden.org/pape/Debian/ http://www.lifewithqmail.org * the smarden.org...site has a backport which makes installation much easier. Once you setup your sources.list, you just "apt-get install qmail" Of course there is some configuring after that. Good Luck, -Rick
