Running qmail

Running qmail provides the information and techniques you'll need to install and configure qmail on Unix. We use FreeBSD to demonstrate qmail, but the principles apply equally to any Unix environment. In fact, Running qmail also shows you how to implement a qmail server for any of the popular Linux distributions as well. Running qmail also discusses PPP support and dial-in customers. Regardless of your experience with Unix and electronic mail, you will find all of the material practical and relevant.
