According to Don Lewis: > Qmail doesn't do all the ESMTP negotiation that sendmail does. It keeps > qmail simpler and less likely to be buggy, but not as functional.

I don't think it handles 8BITMIME at all even if it announces it. Does it support rewriting from 8bit to 7bit and reverse ? > Sendmail's support of UUCP isn't wonderful (mostly a problem of > getting DNS totally disabled). How well does qmail support UUCP? That's a common misunderstanding. UUCP support in sendmail is pretty good (see my other mail). qmail is BAD for UUCP (and the author doesn't care). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #28: Sun Nov 10 13:37:41 MET 1996
