Hi Michael,
Short version is:I am very surprised that I cannot find qmail for Bering-uClibc.
What am I missing?
Can somebody, please, make a Bering-uClibc qmail.lrp ???
read http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html and tell us how we can provide a qmail.lrp that complies to the qmail license (and no, I have no plans to contact D. J. Bernstein and ask for permission - other people have tried and failed). It's a shame, since qmail is indeed the perfect MTA for an embedded box (given that it's apparently very secure and also small enough for an embedded box) - but if we expect people to honour the GPL, we must also honour the license of the software we distribute. We're already "bending the rules" by providing djbdns, mainly because there's no real alternative, and having a real dns server on a router is a pretty common request - but an MTA is a different beast (given the fact that running an MTA that stores the mails in a RAM-disk isn't even RFC compliant).
If you want to build it yourself, the Bering uClibc team will most likely be happy to help you get going - but we can't distribute it in binary form without breaking the license (at least, that's how I read the page above).
