-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes you are correct. There are several files in /var/qmail/control that you have to edit. I'd recommend using the "Life with qmail" tutorial for help setting up qmail if you are having problems. I didn't use the exact instructions recommended there, but they were very close. You can find a link to the tutorial at: http://www.qmail.org If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them. However, I'll need more information than simply you got errors. - --- Joseph C.
