I have often wondered why qmail is not included in SuSE's distros, is it licencing?
Yes, that's what I understand.
I think it has to be distributed in source only, not in compiled form, but I have not verified this personally.

That's essentially true. qmail can be distributed in binary form with some very specific limitations. I don't think Bernstein really wants qmail to be "easy" to install and set up. With the extremely circuitous install process, I think the point is that once you install it - you really do know how the system works. You pretty much need to install according to: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ - even so - it will take first timers several hours to work through. But hey qmail is a great piece of programming. It still offers a reward for anyone finding a security hole, and it can run using almost no resources by todays standards. -end qmail plug- Regis
