I installed qmail because - at the time - it was the only MTA around for which auditing every line of code that ran in a process with root privs was a reasonable single-person task. I understand that sendmail can now be (or is) organized so that the code running privileged is small enough to do that, but it certainly wasn't when I wanted to do that. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
