Why in heaven's name would *anyone* want to do that? I have been using Postfix for years now and before that I used qmail - when it was new. qmail sucked *bigtime*! It was slow, picky about the filesystem it worked on (ReiserFS cause very interresting results), a license that doesn't deserve the name and one mistake in the configuration didn't cause an error message but instead sent incoming mail directly to the happy bit grounds. qmail has not really been maintained by the Author over the last few years and although it is distributed in source, changes to it are not allowed, if you plan to distribute the result. This means that in order for qmail to still work today, there is an insane amount of patches out there that have to be applied. IMHO using qmail instead of Postfix is a gigantic step right back into the stone age. Say hello to the dinos for me! :-) Regards, Chris
