Hi Will --
We switched to Courier (http://www.courier-mta.org/) several years
back, having used qmail before that. We've found that it suites our
needs very well. It behaves a lot like qmail with respect to .qmail
files and its control files, and avoids many of the issues (both
technical and otherwise) with (an unpatched) qmail.
It's even possible to run ezmlm-idx for inbound mail under Courier;
one does have to do an install of qmail for outbound stuff. (Make
sure to add smtproute info into qmail so it doesn't attempt local
delivery for outbound messages that are local.) Having qmail for
outbound ezmlm stuff has the side benefit of creating a second queue,
so that normal Courier users don't have their messages competing with
the list traffic.
best,
Jeff

So... the patch upgrades qmail to postfix?

Meeeoow! :)
I HAVE to run Qmail because it's a legacy requirement. If I could find
something with similar virtual domain and Maildir support (and for all
I know Postfix or Exim may provide these) and a nice transition path
I'm stuck with it.
And let me throw in to the ring, there's a nicely RPM packaged Qmail
package conglomerate at http://www.qmailtoaster.com/ And we all know
that packages are the way ahead, right? :)
Complete with CentOS instructions

CentOS-4.3.txt
Personally, I hack around with the SPECs before building to strip out
the MySQL and other features and just use Qmail listening on localhost
only for the very final Maildir delivery after messages have been
dealt with by MailScanner and Sendmail, then Courier and VPOPMail for
POP3 and IMAP.
Will.
