qmail 1.03 was notoriously bothersome to deploy. Twenty years later, for common use cases, I've finally made it pretty easy. If you want to try it out, I'll help! (Don't worry, it's even easier to uninstall.) Or just listen as I share the sequence of stepwise improvements from then to now -- including pkgsrc packaging, new code, and testing on lots of platforms -- as well as the reasons I keep finding this project worthwhile.
