Yahoo mail (how many million users do you think they have?) is running qmail-ldap. The Maildir's are on NetApp filers, the lists are running exmlm-idx, the web interface seems to be based off of sqWebMail, and the ldap backend is Novell. qmail is a PITA to learn, but wasn't sendmail, or n*x for that matter too? Don't forget about the daemontools. If you haven't used daemontools you need to take a good long look. I don't have any experiance with exim, honestly I haven't found the need to look elsewhere. -Max -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of James Godwin Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 2:07 PM To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Ideal mail server: qmail or postfix Hi, We are building small server solution for our clients which run a number of services and we are looking at incorporating mail server services. As a hosting provider we manage their web and email services. Our boxes were configured with Sendmail and we have had no need to change. No need fixing something which is not broken. :) basically have not had the time to change. As our company grew we became more familiar with running BSD and aware of other alternatives. I was wondering what mail servers fellow ISP are running. I can't decide between postfix or qmail. Any advantages or disadvantages would be greatly appreciated.
