qmail-run for Debian -------------------- The Debian qmail package does not set up qmail to receive and deliver mail on the system. This is done by installing this package or by following the instructions in [0]Life with qmail, chapter 2.8. This package sets up qmail following [0]Life with qmail, chapter 2.8, almost completely, see /usr/share/doc/qmail-run/README.lwq for details. Additionally it does the following for proper integration into Debian: o qmail-run provides mail-transport-agent, so it conflicts with other MTAs available in Debian, such as exim and sendmail. o qmail-run includes links for qmail's 'sendmail' wrapper /var/lib/qmail/bin/sendmail (/usr/sbin/qmail-sendmail) to /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail. o qmail-run includes a link for fastforward's 'newaliases' program /var/lib/qmail/bin/newaliases (/usr/sbin/qmail-newaliases) to /usr/sbin/newaliases o When installing this package, /etc/mailname is checked. If this file does not exist, it is created with the output of hostname -f as content. o The content of /etc/mailname is written to /var/qmail/control/defaulthost, if this file does not exist.
