Does anyone know how to set up Qmail?

I read that it was suppose to be easier than Sendmail, but so far it has been a pain. I followed the direction from Living with Qmail, but no success yet.

Also, the computer I am using has previously installed Qmail. My classmates and I couldn't be sure we wiped out all the old config files. Is this a problem and is there an uninstall for Qmail in Red Hat?

Thanks in advance

Use the rpm -e command to remove built in packages.

My redhat 9 seems to have with sendmail, but if you want a better mail server that you should exim.

I use Postfix on my server and all I had to do was add my local network in mail.conf and it works flawlessly.
