Hah, I second Marc on this. I've had to manage a qmail server for a while and it is awful, nightmarishly so. In order to do anything useful with it, you have to apply third-party patches. These are not supported by the qmail developer himself and the various patches are generally not regression-tested against one another. And they are patching C code which might be described as 'idiosyncratic' :) And if you want it to do handy things like, oh I don't know how about *not* bouncing spam or viruses, you will need the extra patches (DJBs philosophy on email seems to be that all mail should be either delivered or bounced. Very 1980's :) We've had nothing but great performance, spam and virus filtering since changing over to exim. Exim rocks. Thank you Exim! :) -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
