Of the other two, I prefer having my mail queue > in /var, so the first one seems best. qmail should go in it's standard place, the whole bunch of files and dirs under the /var/qmail hierarchy. if you plan to split it up, some people on the qmail mailing list will probably hate you since the potential problems that arise can not be recognized and/or fixed by the qmail-literate folks anymore. having a fixed hierarchy in /var/qmail makes sense because it is the same layout on all supported oses and distributions -- call it standard. besides the fact that if you split it up you violate dan's distribution policy but that's another issue... /k --=20 > I own my own body.
