Note: this will not
- put sendmail back,
- remove the UIDs/GIDs that qmail wants
- remove any user's .qmail files (except ~alias, implicitly).

Hypothetically, if you installed qmail via an RPM, and that RPM's
'uninstall' scripts are up to sniff, it might undo everything.
But that's a very big 'if'.

None of these should be an issue, if it's your intent to put it back...

And, if you used rpms, also rpm -e qmail.

You may also want to check which dirs under /var/qmail just are
symlinks.

Completely removing qmail and reinstalling again

2000-09-21 Thread Wagner R. Landgraf



I'm getting a lot of errors in Linux system, and I 
think it's due qmail.
 
I've installed it using supervise and tcpserver, 
but I just followed a HOWTO, and I had almost no idea of what I was 
doing.
 
So, I'm thinking about removing qmail and 
reinstalling again, using a simplest howto installing guide. 
 
Anybody can tell me how to completely qmail from 
Linux system, so I can be sure that it's not there anymore?
 
Thank you
