And yes, qmail.org is short of links, look at it again and maybe search through for the keywords, PPP, DIALUP! Someone wrote up a 1 page guide just solely for dialup (ppp) usage, you know, just to set it up, I'll read up on the whole man page stuff some other day. Back to Google it is then... Chris

Is it that unreasonable to ask for just the bare facts to getting qmail setup for a simple workstation? I don't think so, personally I could care less about the minutae, just as long as it works and works elegantly. Again, someone please link to this page from the qmail.org, I only just managed to find it after hours of fruitless searching and I'm sure I'm not alone. Thanks Chris
dialup setup
Can anyone here point me to some documentation on setting up qmail+fetchmail over a dialup line? I know this is quite simple; I found a decent howto on Google's cache (the original not being available) some time ago and it worked perfectly. It covered everything I needed, installing qmail and it's required programs, creating pppdir, ip-up.local etc. Frankly looking at the LDP HOWTO is worse than useless. Thanks Chris Corbettis
