I'm sure that plenty of people will say that Windows is fast, secure and without bugs. :-) No, I don't want to start a fight here. I admit, that I don't like qmail and I *have* used it for years. I never hat security problems with it either and what made me think about a different MTA was the fact that qmail on ReiserFS was "undefined" - and I lost mail. The bad performance result was something found by accident. But that wouldn't make any diff on a private site. > Second item, plesk is a very bad way to run qmail.

Well, as you say, the Plesk version of qmail sucks (on which we agree) and therefore administration should bei done without Plesk (we agree on that too) then the OP might as well stay with Postfix and just dump Plesk. Are we in agreement? :-) Regards, Chris
