How does sendmail handle this? Zmailer is the thing that Rayan Zachariassen (sp?) and others at U of Toronto came up to clear problems with sendmail which was killing their main gateway machine. It is intended to be much lighter than sendmail for machines that have to process tons of mail. You can get it from ai.toronto.edu or something like that. (Note: this above represents my perception of the history of Zmailer; I wasn't there, so I may have misinterpreted some of this) I tried it once, and it seemed excellent, but in the end I didn't use it because it was overkill for our needs. -- Denis Fortin fortin@acm.org DMR Group Inc, (514) 877-3301 These opinions are my own
