welcome to
The qmailrocks.org qmail Installation guide
for Debian

As it is now, I've split the debian qmail installation up into 20 sections which are listed below. Simply start at step 1and follow it all the way to completion. By the time you reach step 20, you should have a kickass qmail server. You may notice that the Debian installation guide shares many of it's steps with the Redhat/Slackware guide. This is due to the close similarity of the 2 installations. On the portions of the install that are unique to Debian, you will be directed to a Debian specific page.

For a quick look at what this installation will provide you with, click here.

Before You Start! - When installing qmail, I would STRONGLY reccomend that you first conduct a test installation on a test server if you have one available. I cannot stress this enough. If you're new to qmail, chances are you will probably screw the install up the first time through. Do yourself a favor and screw up on a test server that has no importance to you! I had to learn this the hard way. ;)
