As i am reading this review i noticed: sendmail does this this this, BUT it has this big problem here, here and here exim like sendmail does this good thing but this and that bad thing postfix claims it is very secure but it is not smail like exim and sendmail that is: it sucks. oh yeah, it send mail to root a big nono zmailer not like sendmail and yet is like sendmail MMDF not qmail qmail, for qmail it did not list ONE deficiency... i find that hard to believe. there has to be something... my advice: play with them all, i started out with sendmail 6 months and a server upgrade later i moved to exim. exim was nice but i was using redhat at the time so i did not want to maintain my own exim rpms so i moved to postfix when i upgraded the server a year later. Before i moved to postfix i played with qmail. here is my experience: unlike 99.9 percent of the linux software that needs to be started at bootup. qmail is too good for regular init scripts and has to have its own crappy init scripts. but that is not all.. because of a crappy licence i can´t just down and rpm or two, i would have to get rpms compile them and hope i have all the dependencies. hope? heh yeah, more like ¨good gawd, what do i have to down now?¨ because it seems qmail it too good for most everything on my server. so i figured qmail is too good for my server, and used postfix. I have yet to be disappointed. i suggest we all send in our qmail stories good or bad, and let that be the vote on weather or not qmail should or should not be mentioned here again. -- Munir Nassar RedConcepts.NET _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
