Release
 
          

 welcome to
 The qmailrocks.org (beta) qmail Installation guide
 for Solaris 9

As it is now, I've split the Solaris qmail installation up into 20 sections which are listed below. Simply start at step 1and follow it all the way to completion. By the time you reach step 20, you should have a smokin' qmail installation of qmail blazing away on your server.

Warning: This is the beta release of the Solaris QMR installation guide. It is NOT a release version and there may be mistakes and/or bugs in the guide. The purpose of the beta release is to allow visitors to try it out and then report back with and successes or failures they may encounter. All feedback received will be acted upon in order to publish the release version of this install guide.

Before You Start! - When installing qmail, I would STRONGLY reccomend that you first conduct a test installation on a test server if you have one available. I cannot stress this enough. If you're new to qmail, chances are you will probably screw the install up the first time through. Do yourself a favor and screw up on a test server that has no importance to you!

A special note for Solaris 9 users - When installing the QMR installation on Solaris 9, the pre-preparation of your system is EXTREMELY important.
