+qmail-conf is a collection of tools for setting up various qmail services.
+They are like *-conf programs in djbdns.
+
+With qmail-conf, for example, setting up a minimal SMTP service takes
+the following four steps:
+
+qmail-smtpd-conf qmaild qmaill /var/qmail/service/smtpd
+cd /var/qmail/service/smtpd
+make
+ln -s /var/qmail/service/smtpd /service
+qmail-conf assumes that (recent versions of) daemontools and ucspi-tcp have
+already been installed. It also assumes that svscan is already running.
+
+qmail-conf tries to provide reasonable defaults: it avoids DNS reverse lookups;
+it avoids IDENT lookups; it lets TCP connection attempts be logged with
+multilog; and for POP3 and QMQP, connection attempts are denied unless you
+explicitly authorize and for POP3 and QMQP, connection attempts are denied
+unless you explicitly authorize and for POP3 and QMQP, connection attempts
+are denied unless you explicitly authorize and for POP3 and QMQP,
+connection attempts are denied unless you explicitly authorize your clients.
