Try zmailer instead if >performance is what you want. I have been running Qmail on my mailing list server since around May with no major snags. For a list processor I am running ListProc 6.0c by Anastasios Kotsikonas. I don't understand why you say that qmail is the worst mailer for use on a mailing list machine. It works great for us! When a message comes in for one of the bigger lists (over 3000 subscribers) it doesn't choke the machine, and in fact it can still do lots of other tasks in the background, like serving web pages etc. Granted the machine I'm running it on is a Pentium 100mHz, not a 486 but I don't see why he shouldn't run qmail on his listserver anyway. Could you back up that statement with some facts Mike? Nick
