I've installed v.1.03 from a src.deb package onto Debian Potato.
There is a large volume of literature which I've spent some days
reading and can't find explanations for a number of points (entirely
due to my semi- computer literate state).
I connect to an ISP by dialling with a modem and have just two user
accounts. I've never really understood the concept of a FQDN and so
can't with confidence create a /var/qmail/control file. Hypothetically,
my ISP is heaven.com, I call my box eden and have users adam and
eve, what is my FQDN? (I log in as say garden - so outsiders email
me as [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
I fail to understand exactly what part alias plays in the setup. At
a minimum, I should create three - root, postmaster and
mailer-daemon, but do I need any for my user accounts and why?
With the simple setup I have should I bother with the dot-forward,
daemontools and fastforward packages?
I know these are very simple questions, but could someone give
a simple explanation to help me along. What I would ideally like is
a write up for a minimal setup for the type of installation I have -
it seems none exists or else I can't find it.
Help will be much appreciated.
John.
