Ain't qmail a bitch like that?

Basically you just need to know exactly which files are created by your
qmail installation. I hope this isn't a machine you're particularly
fond of, because you could loose some data here. You should always have
backups. Nevermind, onto the ideas.

The only sure fire way I know of to ensure you eliminate all those
pesky files (and no other files), is to install qmail again from the
same source code tree (you do still have that don't you?) in a chroot
environment. You can then check and see what it puts there, and
eliminate one-by-one.

Otherwise, you've got a lengthy process of checking the root and var
partitions to make sure you got it all removed. Basically just delete
everything that looks out of place. As I recall qmail pretty much puts
everything in directories directly under root, and makes a single
/var/gmail directory under /var. It's been so long since I've managed
qmail though, I can't be entirely sure.
