We've been running qmail for many months now with zero problems. I got sick and tired of watching for the latest and greatest security notice on sendmail. Qmail is a very different beast so be prepared to unlearn most everything you know about sendmail. Read all of the FAQ! Qmail was designed from the ground up to be secure, NOT to be a sendmail look-a-like. It took some time unlearning sendmail, but it didn't take long to love it. We're running many virtual domains with great flexibility and ease. By default it delivers to the users home dir in mbox format so a slightly modified qpopper will do for the popper. The mods are in the FAQ that comes with the source. BTW, there have been at least half a dozen security problems found with sendmail since I've started using qmail. Needless to say, I rest much easier at night. :-) --- Ron
