As I've written: an experienced unix administrator won't have problems
setting this up without an explicit documentation IMHO, but it looks like
there are more and more people switching to unix and qmail the same time (ar
lets say: trying to get qmail running without much unix knowledge and mail in
general). Especially for those this could be a good help, so go on writing.

This is a common architecture. Not suitable for us as we are an ISP, but
common and IMHO good.

I just wouldn't call qmail new - the newest version is 1.03,
qmail-1.03.tar.gz is dated june 1998. It is anyway modern ;-))

Yes. Read the documentation for courier-imap and the doumentation for IMP ;-))
I prefer sqwebmail anyway.
