While we are at it - what did you do about that?
My problem with Qmail is that my home machine is connected through
a dial-up line and doesn't have a permanent FQDN. It does have
a "hostname" ("birnam").
So there is no "me" in the network sense that you can allways
"nslookup birnam" and get an IP address. Whenever I connect
I get another IP. What's the prerequisites that Qmail expects
from "me"?

At least the normal "hostname" should NOT give FQDN. Is this the
same "hostname" you are talking about? (all hostname(1) does is
to get the string from the kernel using the gethostname(2)
system call).

Can anyone who uses Qmail on a dial-up system provide the contents of
these basic five files?
Sorry to bother this list about that, but I haven't got an answer
from Qmail's FAQ's and docs, not as far as I could find.
