[ILUG] qmail

[Donncha O Caoimh]

Try my install-qmail program at http://members.xoom.com/xeer/ (follow
the software link on the sidebar) It kind of worked for me but I always
had trouble with the relay settings which is why I stopped using it.
Still, my script may get you started in the right direction.

Donncha.
PS. it installs serialmail too..
