It is not  a Slackware issue at all. I have installed several other packages
without a glitch. Qmail documentation is the problem. Qmail web pages and
documents preach it is the wonden, thunder, easy to configure than sendmail,
more secure than sendmail, best thing since sliced bread and on and on.....

What they should also say is "Qmail's installation documentation really reallly sucks"?

I am in the middle of somework now. Once that's done, I will work on a different HOWTO
install Qmail. I will keep you posterd. My current work is too serious to ignore.
