qmail is the #2 mail server on the planet. It was written by Daniel J. Bernstein as a more secure replacement for the popular Sendmail program. Life with qmail is one of the definitive documents for installing, configuring and using qmail. It contains a wealth of easy to follow information in a single page document. Besides the online HTML version, there there are PDF, postscript and ASCII versions.

Life with qmail is aimed at everyone interested in running qmail, from the rank amateur (newbie) who just installed Linux on a spare PC all the way up to the experienced system administrator or mail administrator. If you find it lacking or unclear, please let me know. Send comments to lwq@sill.org.
There’s a wealth of information available on qmail from a variety of sources. Some is targeted to newbies, some assumes that the reader is more experienced. Life with qmail is an attempt to "glue" this information into a single source, filling in some of the cracks and assuming only that the reader has basic skills such as:
- Manipulating files/directories under UNIX
- Operating a web browser or FTP client
- Following directions
Also available from this link is Life with qmail-ldap
qmail-ldap is a patch to qmail 1.03 to retrieve all user data from a ldap-directory rather then from files on the disk. This allows easier administration, especially in distributed environments. There is also clustering support builtin making qmail-ldap very well suited for big mail installations at ISPs.
