Here what to do to make qmail work:
1) Uninstall sendmail.
You probably need to use the --nodeps option.
2) In /etc/profile, set
MAIL=$HOME/Mailbox
export MAIL
In /etc/csh.cshrc set
setenv MAIL $HOME/Mailbox
This is because qmail drops the mail in ~user/Mailbox
3) To make qmail work with MH (exmh, mh-e,xmh), do
in /etc/profile
MAILDROP=$HOME/Mailbox
export MAILDROP
in /etc/csh.cshrc
setenv MAILDROP $HOME/Mailbox
If you previously removed MH (exmh), install them with the --nodeps
option.
4) To make pine work with qmail, do:
in /usr/lib/pine.conf
inbox-path=$MAIL
sendmail-path=/usr/sbin/sendmail -t
5) Install qmail rpm.
6) If you have problems with sending mail outside your domain (as I
had) , you want to remove /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts.
7) Only after rebooting was everything working well for me.
8) It is worth looking at the INSTALL.* and FAQ docs in /usr/doc/qmail*
But be careful, not everything should be taken verbatim for Linux.
