  Qmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qmail encourages the use of several innovations in mail (some originated by Bernstein, others not), including maildir format mailboxes for storing messages (mbox files are also supported, and encouragement to migrate is given along with a tool to convert mbox mailboxes to maildir mailboxes) and the QMTP and QMQP protocols.
Qmail is licence-free software, although permission is granted for distribution in source form or in pre-compiled form (a "var-qmail package") if certain restrictions are met.
As such, mail to non-existent mailboxes (whose domain parts are correct, of course) is accepted by qmail's SMTP Relay server, and qmail generates and sends bounce messages when the non-existent mailbox name is later detected, at the point of actual mailbox delivery.

 Qmail on Debian
The purpose of this document is to demonstrate the deployment of the Qmail mail server, in numerous situations.
If you have for example, a network with 5 linux machines, rather then having qmail listening on all of them, and having 5 accounts to check for mail, a simple solution is to have 4 machines send mail to the main mail server.

 Qmail bugs and wishlist.
