That's the recommendation, but all that's necessary is disassociating
the child processes from the parent's tty. Csh and bash do that
automatically. Nohup can be used to force that, too.

I thought you said you installed qmail according to the LWQ
instructions. If so, you should be starting qmail via the startup
script linked to /usr/local/sbin/qmail.
