[Cialug] Help configuring Qmail with checkpassword for SMTP auth

[albus]

Claus,

Are you using vpopmail?
I'd be more than happy to send you any config files to help.

I wish I new more about it. I had Inter7 set mine up as I was
and still somewhat am wet behind the ears with Linux.

But I'm getting there.

Let me know if I can help.

Joel
