Thanks for the suggestion.  The problem with the qmail-src package, for
me, is that it puts qmail files all over the system. That would really
confuse a newcomer to debian. ie The FAQ says to test using
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject and it doesn't work, because qmail-inject
is in /usr/sbin and there are no link from the qmail/bin dir.  Very
confusing.  Qmail is a bear to understand all by itself without the
added cunfusion.
 
  The stock qmail program itself only goes into /var/qmail, which is how 
I prefer it.  

  Another thing, when I built qmail-src and tried to 
install it with the built-in scriþtp, if failed, because procmail was
not installed.  Catch-22 isn't it.

Thanks for the suggestion tho.  It was a learning experience!

Unquestionably, there is progress.  The average American now pays out
