Sorry, I was Ccing qmail@packages.debian.org, but it didn't occur to
me to include you directly.

You'll notice I've been much more successful at finding problems
than suggesting solutions. Still, I've managed to scrape together
a possible replacement control.real (attached); it needs some more
content, and a lot more positive spin!
In particular it needs some sort of summary of its status in Debian.
The question readers are going to be asking is "what's Qmail doing
in non-free if it's public domain now?", and I have no idea what the
answer is.

delivery system designed by Dan J. Bernstein in 1995 as a replacement

To build a local binary package of qmail, first install this package, then
type the command "build-qmail". You will also need to use ucspi-tcp-src to
build ucspi-tcp, which is a dependency of qmail.
.
Packages built in this way are compliant with the FHS and Debian Policy,
but are not redistributable.
