Did your client get the developer cd as well ? If not search on
www.stepwise.com - read the INSTALL files in the src directories, that9s how
I learned, or at least learned enough to know what to ask here.

You will need more then qpopper to make server, you will need to get the
latest version of sendmail, and then comes the fun part, as it installs,
whether from stepwise or anyplace else, it will not run as a "server" in the
WebTen or Webstar sense anyway - no remote logins, not even when on the same
subnet ( I recon thanks to all the spammers and hackers). To make a server
out of it you must recompile the config file, well, use an app contained
within sendmail src to make a new config file that will do all of that -
then and only then can WebMin make a go of it. Ill let yaw know once I got
it where I want it. As I have never done this before- it ought to be
interesting, although the reading material leaves a lot to be desired.

Webmin pretty much just goes right in with setting the target (as in the
INSTALL) to OSX - that guy is awesome, Jamie, nice app and a nice list too -
just like this one.

The best thing you can do ( I wish I were more consistent with it) is get a
log to make notes in about everything you do that works.
