Note that Debian has daemontools, daemontools-run, and s6 (a daemontools-like system) available in stable. These are slightly different from the pure cr.yp.to instructions, but very easily adaptable. > > Please note that the original qmail-smtpd is NOT good to use without > > patching or replacing.

In particular, Debian has the mailfront package, which is Bruce Guenter's qmail-compatible set of tools. From the description: It contains complete SMTP, QMQP, QMTP, and POP3 front-ends as well as an authentication module for IMAP. The mail delivery front-ends also contain internal address filtering features. Two SMTP back-ends are provided. One delivers mail to qmail-queue, mimicking most of the behavior of qmail-smtpd, with the addition of support for SMTP AUTH. This is most likely your best path forward. -dsr-
