Replacing sendmail with qmail
Anyone here use qmail as their MTA? I am following the Linux Electronic Mail HOW-TO and some bits don't add up...
Adding the aliases - ok I have done that (as it asks in /etc/aliases). Except it also states you must "create each of these in ~aliases" - what is that!? Does he mean ~/aliases or just /etc/aliases or
in the /var/qmail/aliases aswell. And the other thing - there is no rc file under /var/qmail/*
Any ideas the version of qmail I am using is the source distro 1.03
Cheers again dudes!

Hmm I see ya. How (like sendmail) can I get qmail to que mail and then send it when I logon to my ISP.
For example. Local (LAN) user Jim@100-Acre-Wood.com wants to send an external mail (NET) to foo@bar.net however, if Jim is sending a mail to Stuart@100-Acre-Wood.com (which is again on the local LAN) it should arrive at his in box almost instantly.
Will increase points if you give me a good answer.

No problem with that either...
serialmail (a package complementing qmail, also written by Dan Bernstein) allows you to do just that ;-).
I admit to not having used that, since I have a frame relay at home, but reports say that it works reasonably well.
