I would see if I could remove whatever qmail installed and start over as something broke during installation. Craig [Timothy A. Holmes] As far as the reason for using qmail, it is the one that I have found easy to understand instructions for setting up and using -- also this machine is going to be a listserver so EZMLM being included in the setup and instructions was a plus.
