I'm in the process of setting up Courier-IMAP, Squirrel Mail  and 
thought I had to use something along the lines of qmail with it.  To use 
a spam filter I thought of using Spamass-milter. Under Gentoo I noticed 
that  Qmail seems to be a no-no since it conflicts with sendmail or 
prrocmail. Can I then assume that I can not run spamassasin with qmail?  
I must be approaching this totally off track, any suggestions?
TIA
