Anyone using gnus with qmail ?

Anyone using gnus with qmail ?

[Aharon Schkolnik]

Hi.

	I'm considering switching over to qmail instead of
sendmail. It's supposed to be more secure. Anyone using qmail with
gnus yet ?


TIA.

Somebody has recently posted code to use qmail Maildir.

My .qmail looks like:
| preline /usr/bin/procmail

and I didn't have to change a thing in Gnus or .procmailrc.  :-)

I've been using it for a few months.  You should have no trouble,
really, qmail DTRT all the time.  

For outgoing mail, you have two options.  If you've installed qmail's
fake-sendmail in place of the original, you can keep using
message-send-mail-with-sendmail.  If not, or if you just want to hand
mail to qmail-inject directly, use
(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-qmail)

For incoming mail, you have a few options.  One is to use maildir
format along with the code someone posted here recently.  

Another option is to use procmail to deliver to /var/spool/mail/you as
Steven Baur said.  This is nice if you use procmail for mail massaging
already; it's a lose if you use it as a way to get your mail delivered
to /var/spool/mail/you.

The third option is to let qmail deliver to a folder (~/Mailbox) and
add that folder to the list of spools checked by gnus.
(push (expand-file-name "~/Mailbox") nnmail-spool-file)

I use the third option.
