In the case of qmail-1.03 this means no change since 1998. Why? Simply because qmail-1.03 is essentially bugfree and works perfectly for it's intended purpose.

Actually once you get used to it it's very nice and clean. > Otherwise you are of course correct :) -- Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
