+SAVE COPIES OF YOUR OUTGOING MAIL! Like any other piece of software (and
+information generally), the qmail system comes with NO WARRANTY. It's
+much more secure and reliable than sendmail, but that's not saying much.
+
+
+Things you have to decide before starting:
+
+* The qmail home directory, normally /var/qmail. To change this
+directory, edit conf-qmail now.
+
+* The names of the qmail users and the qmail groups. To change these
+names, edit conf-users and conf-groups now.
+
+
+To create /var/qmail and configure qmail (won't interfere with sendmail):
+
+ 1. Create the qmail home directory:
+       # mkdir /var/qmail
+
+ 2. Read INSTALL.ids. You must set up the qmail group and the qmail
+    users before compiling the programs.
+
+ 3. Compile the programs and create the qmail directory tree:
+       # make setup check
+
+ 4. Read INSTALL.ctl and FAQ. Minimal survival command:
+       # ./config
+
+ 5. Read INSTALL.alias. Minimal survival command:
+       # (cd ~alias; touch .qmail-postmaster .qmail-mailer-daemon .qmail-root)
+       # chmod 644 ~alias/.qmail*
+
+ 6. Read INSTALL.mbox and INSTALL.vsm.
+
+ 7. Read INSTALL.maildir.
+
+ 8. Copy /var/qmail/boot/home (or proc) to /var/qmail/rc.
+
+
+To test qmail deliveries (won't interfere with sendmail):
+
+ 9. Enable deliveries of messages injected into qmail:
+       # csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
+
+10. Read TEST.deliver.
+
+
+To upgrade from sendmail to qmail:
+
+11. Read SENDMAIL. This is what your users will want to know about the
+    switch from sendmail to qmail.
+
+12. Read REMOVE.sendmail. You must remove sendmail before installing
+    qmail.
+
+13. Read REMOVE.binmail.
+
+14. Add
+            csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
+    to your boot scripts, so that the qmail daemons are restarted
+    whenever your system reboots. Make sure you include the &.
+
+15. Make qmail's ``sendmail'' wrapper available to MUAs:
+       # ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
+       # ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
+    /usr/sbin might not exist on your system.
+
+16. Set up qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf (all on one line):
+            smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
+            tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
+
+17. Reboot. (Or kill -HUP your inetd and make sure the qmail daemons
+    are running.)
+
+18. Read TEST.receive.
+
+
+
+That's it! To report success:
+       % ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) | mail djb-qst@cr.yp.to
+Replace First M. Last with your name.
