I'm Running Linux Mandrake 7.2 and actually have 6 seperate qmail installs
running on that machine and have been running on it for over a year. The OS
actually started out as Mandrake 7.0 then upgraded to 7.1 and then 7.2 and
have not had any problems. Now I thought maybe it was the latest Mandrake
you might be having problems with so I edited my files and installed a 7th
qmail service on my machine and it compiled just fine..... Then I deleted it
and did it again.. Still compiled just fine.. I have no idea what is going
on with your system but it is not an OS level issue unless there is
something physically wrong with your OS installation itself.... I sugest
doing a recopilation of the OS and try qmail again..
Side note I use the gz download of qmail not the RPM so if your using the
RPM package ignore this message then ;)
cheers
