Re: mail server

[Craig Russell <craig@airdigitalnetwork.com>]

The license for qmail prohibits the distribution of it in binary form 
except in it's "pure" state.  The qmailrocks installation patches the 
pure qmail source to add additional functionality and thus cannot be 
distrbuted in binary form.  Also, the debian package for courier-auth 
does not include the vchkpw module which is required for some of the 
functionality in the qmailrocks install.

One piece of advice on the installation.  Watch very carefully the parts 
that detail ownership of files and what accounts certain processes 
should run as.  If you have problems getting it to run after you've got 
it setup, look there first.

Good luck.
