I think we have to try to resolve issue's if any one in trouble instead of leg pulling and this is not the serious issue whether he is using abbreviation or complete words. As per my opinion -- I recently moved a sizeable system from qmail to postfix. While qmail is a fine MTA, we were running into its limitations. The main objection I have to it is that it's stagnant. The last official release was over 10 years ago, and any advances in MTA technology since then has to be implemented as a patch. This includes SMTP AUTH, SSL, SQL aliasing, and many of the common anti-spam tactics. After a while, the whole thing gets quite unwieldy, especially when you have conflicting patches. We also had large problems with qmail's "everything goes in the queue" architecture. A vanilla qmail install accepts every mail that is sent to it, even those that are to non-existent users. No mail is rejected at smtp time. This means that the queue is always full of bounce message to non-existent senders. Also, when you get hit with a mail bomb, the messages in the queue end up delaying new incoming messages, even after the mail-bomb has stopped. Performance on the queue disk can become a substantial bottleneck. Still, it's a fine mailer once you get your mind around how it works. We switched to postfix primarily because I wanted a MTA that was under active development and qmail has limited support for LMTP. Postfix does have it's quirks, and Wietse is sometimes less than willing to add new things to postfix that people want. However, they do eventually get added, once Wietse comes up with a system that he likes. with regds rajnish _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
