Re: Qmail question
The .deb contains the source code, and when you run 'dpkg --install qmail' it
automagically unpacks it, compiles it, and asks if you want to install the
finished product. I was quite impressed when I tried it, and have been quite
happy with the ease of configuration and performance of qmail.

that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow,
that's big," time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness
itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by
staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here."
