I can direct you to a person who probably knows qmail as well as any person on the planet, John Simpson. He doesn't run SA, but he really knows qmail inside and out, so any questions to him about qmail are well directed. You can view his website here and probably find a link to his email addy if you can read and interpret whats in that box in the 'Other useful pages' section... http://www.jms1.net/ -- Phil Barnett AI4OF SKCC #600
