Randolph I know most of you don’t care, but I managed to configure qmail 1.0.3 on a Red Hat 8.0 machine, acting as a secure relay between my Microsoft Exchange 5.5 mail server and the SmoothWall 1.0 GPL firewall.
Did everybody get that? Well, I did, and I am so chuffed with myself. Considering that getting the relay part to work was a lot of trial and error, and I only had one email returned to sender (a test sent by myself, to myself), I am satisfied with my accomplishments. Now I know I can do it, and as it turns out, this is not difficult if you read the instructions.
For the record, it took half an hour to install Red Hat (after it took two hours to give up on downloading Debian), and then most of today to get this to work.
