There _are_ quite a few zealots in the "qmail user community," but
that's true of other groups too. Linux vs. FreeBSD anyone?

Men & Mice has some neat stuff.

I suppose I should also point out that BIND is the basis for several
commercial products. (Cisco Network Registrar, Metainfo's MetaIP, and
I believe also QIP that Lucent picked up. It's also part of Nixu
Namesurfer. Men & Mice put it to good use too. :-)

Postfix and Sendmail are also being used in a number of places. Qmail
is not. (I think this is a licensing issue since Dan thinks he knows
better than you how your filesystem should be laid out and is very
restrictive about distributing binaries unless you toe that line.)

I won't go quite _that_ far, but I can understand why you feel this
way.

Agreed. Those "Sendmail sucks and Qmail rulez d00d! responses don't do
much for me.
