Sounds interesting, I really just need a way to have a copy of every
outgoing mail sent archived for review. If Charlie's contrib does that, I'll
give it a look.

Still fails with the same %prep errors though, and the exact same code is
there in the .spec file. I see your entry mentioning the removal, but it
doesn't actually seem to have been removed. Or maybe I'm just dumb (another
completely valid conclusion).

I did, the .spec file even mentions the removal, it just doesn't seem to
have been done. Can I comment it out without hosing the whole thing?
# rpm -bb qmail.spec

RPM build errors:

Or am I way off here, and this has nothing to do with the requirement for
the qmail UIDs and GIDs. This wouldn't be impossible, as I am in no way an
expert in these sort of matters.
