The documentation for qmail I found to be worthless.  The debugging messages
useless, and the software flaky.  I'll never voluntarily use it again.

&gt; &gt;&gt;I have a friend doing doctoral work in interactive web development 
&gt; &gt;&gt;and human
&gt; &gt;&gt;interface design. At one point I helped him set up a Linux / Apache 
&gt; &gt;&gt;web
&gt; &gt;&gt;server for posting VRML projects created by he and his students.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;His studies have recently necessitated a move to Baltimore. For some 
&gt; &gt;&gt;odd
&gt; &gt;&gt;reason his department there couldn't provide him with an email 
&gt; &gt;&gt;account. He
&gt; &gt;&gt;made the mistake of complaining about that as being somewhat aburd. 
&gt; &gt;&gt;Now they
&gt; &gt;&gt;want him to set up a mail server for the department... for cheap or 
&gt; &gt;&gt;for free,
&gt; &gt;&gt;of course...   to live alongside their Apache web server, which is
&gt; &gt;&gt;unfortunately running on an eXcrement Pile box. The mail server, 
&gt; &gt;&gt;however, can
&gt; &gt;&gt;be a seperate Linux box if that's the way he wants to get it done.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;This person is NOT a unix savvy command line, script config kind of 
&gt; &gt;&gt;guy, so
&gt; &gt;&gt;Sendmail is probably not a solution. We've had a suggestion of qmail, 
&gt; &gt;&gt;but I
&gt; &gt;&gt;wanted to ask the list if there are other email server options we 
&gt; &gt;&gt;should look
&gt; &gt;&gt;into, keeping in mind that ease of configuration and maintenane are 
&gt; &gt;&gt;the
&gt; &gt;&gt;important factors.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;Thanks for any ideas!
&gt; &gt;&gt;peace
