Hey, I resent that! 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.
