>> Here what to do to make qmail work:

Thanks a lot Mate, your hint were _very_ helpfull.  I am almost there, but
not quite.  I had additional small problems with installation.  /config/me
did not get created, I had to enter it by hand, I entered my domain name
there.  Is there soemthing else I need to enter in me file?  Also install
script from qmail-0.92-1.i386.rmp did a little bit of a mess with adding
some qmail users.  I had to edit /etc/passwd by hand.  Now I am able to
send mail to remote domains, but have a problem with sending it to the
localhost.  Entries in /var/log/maillog say: 

"qmail: delivery 1 deferred: Uh-oh:_home_directory_is_writable._(#4.7.0)/"

and nothing gets delivered to local mailbox.   

Any ideas how to fix this one?

Thanks in advance for any help.
