No, I admint that I didn't, but now I did. However, I am no smarter than when I
started. It does
not contains any references to qmail, only examples for sendmail and postfix.
from man mailer.conf
BUGS
The entire reason this program exists is a crock. Instead, a command for
how to submit mail should be standardized, and all the "behave different-
ly if invoked with a different name" behavior of things like mailq(1)
should go away.
(mailwrapper's man page said the same about it)
Do we have something against the standard "/usr/sbin/sendmail" ? I don't see it

It really wasn't that much of a bother and I didn't read that statement in the man
pages anywhere
but since you brought it up, let me see if I understand now.
>From mailer.conf
This example shows how to invoke the "postfix" program in place of send-
mail.
# Emulate sendmail using postfix
sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
So I should just use...
#emulate sendmail using qmail
sendmail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
And remove all of the symlinks as well as all other references in that file?
If I do that will anything break? Is there really "anything wrong" with the way I
have it symlinked
now?
Thanks in advance

RHETORICAL QUESTION: Why doesn't <insert OS here> just come installed with qmail as
the default
MTA?
