qmail

To setup qmail to run out-of-the-box on your system, run: emerge --config =qmail-1.03-r16

To start qmail at boot you have to add svscan to your startup and create the following links:

ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send /service/qmail-send
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd /service/qmail-smtpd

To start the pop3 server as well, create the following link: ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d /service/qmail-pop3d

Additionally, the QMTP and QMQP protocols are supported, and can be started as:

ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-qmtpd /service/qmail-qmtpd
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-qmqpd /service/qmail-qmqpd

Additionally, if you wish to run qmail right now, you should run this before anything else: source /etc/profile
