FYI:
I just did my first-ever installation of qmail and noticed a problem in the mailman docs. Installing v1.0 the directions given in INSTALL.QMAIL for the changes to the inetd.conf and hosts.allow are incorrect. The settings in this file did not work, and when I looked in the doc/FAQ in section 5.4 I noticed that the instructions are different. The settings in the FAQ did manage to get things working the way that the should -- it looks like just a couple of changes in syntax, but it would probably be a good idea to change the INSTALL.QMAIL doc.
Cheers,

Chris, could you send me a diff against README.QMAIL? I'd be happy to install it.
