I've used postfix and I'm far happier with Sendmail and mail than postfix Wietse is rather narrow minded when it comes to certain things, like the way he attacks certain anti-spa/virus programers because they are not in his "in crowd" or do things the way he wants, another reason I shy away from postfix, DJB lost many friends many years ago with that attitude and WV is closely following in those footsteps. > OS while you have to know what you are doing to even get started with > qmail. I dont use any MTA rolled in a distro :) because they all hack them, I always use source code customised to the way I want. I use Slackware on all servers, and they try to keep as true to tarballs as possible I've always found, but I still insist on direct MTA source tarballs compile/install. > Interesting reads: > > http://shearer.org/MTA_Comparison These are written by people with, like you and I, our own person opinions and favourites, so are essentially biased no matter what MTA you favour. Just liie those that sprout the mbox V maildir, even though the tests they show use the most well known slowest imap server known to man kind :) > Pretty far OT, sorry folks. lol, indeed :) Incidently there may be a new qmail release in the future, not by DJB of course, in fact one quetions if he's even still alive. -- Cheers Res -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGh4WTsWhAmSIQh7MRAkv3AJ422dKBeDDG+Ikxp5MKVm1Pze43yACbBbqi 0G9OkeDZ0vw3juQfvpQpG+E= =f/zz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
