Appendix D: qmail Features

 < Free Open Study > 



Chapter 1 listed qmail's features in a readable, newbie-friendly format. This appendix does it again in more detail. If you really need to understand a feature, perhaps to explain it to someone else, this appendix should help. This should also help explain the feature list on the official qmail Web site (http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html).

Setup Features

qmail includes the following setup features:

  • Adaptable. During the build process, qmail automatically adapts itself to most Unix and Linux distributions, obviating the need for manual porting by a system programmer.

  • Automatic configuration. Basic per-host configuration is done automatically by qmail using the config and config-fast scripts.

  • Quick installation. Setting up a basic installation is easy and doesn't require lots of decision making.
