You need to install qmail-src and ucspi-tcp-src packages, build them with
build-ucspi-tcp and build-qmail.

For building qmail, make sure that no qmail-related uid-s and gid-s are in
/etc/passwd and /etc/group. (the five qmail? users and alias, and group 
qmail).

After installing look at README.Debian in /usr/doc/qmail. And moreover,
read a few qmail documentation, eg. 'Life with qmail' to know how qmail
works. It is very easy to use, but you need to know how things are done.

It is ...@lists.debian.org (lists and not list)
