qmail hell

[alidon]

Okay, I'm not too sharp. I can't get qmail up and running. I bought the only book I could find that looks decent, "Running Qmail", published by SAMS, written by Richard Blum. Good book, but too much pointed at Fbsd

I get qmail to install, no big deal. But how do I get qmail to run. ps aux no qmail services. I won't be getting email at the linux boxes, I will do that through pop3 connection at other nt workstations through outlook.

My email server is behind a firewall, on private IP space. Now with my httpd services I have them portfw to the correct box in private add space. Can I do that with the smtp and pop services on the email box.

ignore the DO NOT USE THIS errata he only says that for the fact that it is a work in progress but beleive me I have used it many many times with effective results. and you can get on Dalnet and /join #linuxpeople and look for LinuXninja he is Dman for helping get Qmail up and running he is a strong advocate for Qmail as well.
