Why this package
This package creates the config files and
NetBSD-style rc.d
scripts needed to run
?pkgsrc-qmail,
and provides convenient wrappers for procmail, spamassassin, and rspamd.
If you’re looking to run qmail without adopting DJB’s daemon-supervision lifestyle, even on non-NetBSD systems, this package may be useful to you.
Without this package
To configure qmail services to be started and stopped, follow
Life with qmail’s
instructions, then use its
qmailctl script.
With this package
Follow the very brief instructions in the install message. To see it again:
$ pkg_info -D qmail-run
Get this package
Binary
# pkgin -y install qmail-run
Source
$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/qmail-run
$ make install
(Developed in pkgsrc, and sometimes offline with git.)
