Cant you install it from apt-get or something??  I find installing from a tarball a nightmare, and it doesn't always work. Anyway there must be a readme file inside it. Use and archive manager to browase it. Best of luck making it.

Installing apps from tarballs actually helps you learn. And I would say you should go with it if you are testing with them and would like to see how you could make them work to your need.

Lifewithqmail and qmailrocks are two good resources.

One another note, if you don't have any specific reason to use qmail. I would seriously recommend you use postfix or exim as your MTA, reason being qmail is old now. And many things that you can do in an instant with other MTAs,  you would have to patch your way around or do some serious efforts with qmail.

you have to uncompress them & install them via source ( or compile ) , here is the Procedure:

 1 ) Uncompress that file ( assuming you are @ same location where file   exits)  
               $ tar -zxf netqmail-1.06.tar.gz

 2) Compile & install them

               $ cd < extracted dir>

               $ ./configure 

               $ ./onfigure -- help ( if incase you want to include / exclude some options) 

               $ make

               $ make test 

               $ sudo make install

This is it... Regards
