I use qmail for almost two years now. Yet have to find a reason to complain. Setup is simple, once you read and accept the fact that it is not sendmail. Some complain that it ``makes too many assumptions'' - I heard this expression several times. I have an ISP service deliver over 200,000 messages a day from a 486 DX-50 without complaint. Virtual domains are trivial to setup. Mailing lists are easy and self managed and it is inherently safe. I like it. --- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313
