I'm sitting on a T-1 and the DNS is not a problem. After compiling, when ./config runs, every time it tries to do something it says "no such file or directory". Following your suggestion, I tried config-fast and had the same results. I've got Life with Qmail printed out in its entirety and h

qmail Installation
