There is a qmail-src package in the non-free section. That has the source
to Qmail and some scripts to compile it and create a Debian package. The idea
is that you install qmail-src, make your qmail_xxxx.deb file, install it, and
then purge qmail-src. It works well for me and I doubt that anything else
needs to be done at the moment. Thanks to Philip Hands for the fine work.

I'm an independant computer consultant. I prefer to do Linux administration
and programming. OS/2 programming is also fun, and I do sometimes do NT
programming. I mainly do C++ programming, but would like to get into Java.
This should satisfy the curiosity of those on SERVER-LINUX.
