I would like to know also ..                 ^       ^
I'm not able to receive Mail from db0nnp.ampr.org to dg1ees@dg1ees. Qmail 
only accepts user@dg1ees.ampr.org.

I think passwd/group/inetd.conf have to be clean before one install that 
.rpm. rpm -Uvh qmail-0.92-1.i386.rpm wiped the entries...
My solution: rpm -e qm... than rpm -ivh qm...
Passwd/group/inetd.conf were right set then.

Remote domains do not work for me. CNAME ? I'm afraid I have to set up 
DNS...?? My workaround: I set db0nnp in the smtp-server field in Pine. 
Just a bit annoying that it 'blocks' Pine 'til the Message is delivered. 
Radiolinks could be vary vary slow.....

I had the same problem. You have to change permissions for your homedir.
Let's say it's /home/mark then: 'chmod 0644 /home/mark'
Then qmail will start to deliver your Mail. Very educational this qmail 
thing....
