Hi Andrew, Never ceases to amaze me the people willing to help dills like me. I actually have taught myself a fair bit about FBSD but it does get a bit disheartening at times especially when software like qmail is reputedly so easy to install. I followed the tute painstakingly but...no go. Seems qmail-start is not happening from the rc script (I think I have tracked it that far. --- Andrew Boothman <andrew@cream.org> wrote: > Keith 8<...snip snip > should be able to get you > running! :-) > > Did you install from ports?

I also stuck Maildir in /usr/share/skel to get copied into new users I add. I feel I should start again with the port. I am not confident I can hack my screw ups (if I in fact caused them... might be the tute?) I'd really appreciate help with finding / installing the port. You know I am the sysadmin for our school (typically a teacher who has had the job placed on him/her). I have built our sendmail system and proxy etc etc with FreeBSD. BUT...I have been trying to get webmail installed for 1 year. I have given up 3 times. I am determined! But each time shit happens. I won't giveup.
