Easier to configure and customise than Qmail, and in use in some very large ISPs that I know of (it contains many optimisations for high-volume usage). It takes a different approach to the security problem than Qmail - it can probably be argued that Qmail is still a better choice for installations where security is absolutely paramount. I suspect many people will switch to vmailer when it emerges from beta, on the strength of the author's reputation alone. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
