Yes... Absolutely I see your point now. As you said in this other email:

James, then, is addressing concerns different from mine: you're playing the
Notes/iPlanet/Exchange game, a sector of the market I don't care about.
Frankly I use Notes every day, and I'm happy that Brian at VNU is taking
care of that thing. I'm talking about MTAs, you're talking about "mail
servers"...

As the Qmail author refuses to guarantee that Qmail is not going to fall
over, but at the same time (take what happened yesterday night), we had a
problem w/ our mail @ VNU. Turns out that our bandwidth is saturated by
Sobig/E messages, our front-exchanger sendmails and qmails have no
whatsoever problem in handling that, but notes on the back is struggling to
mark-and-delete everything that norton identifies as a virus.
Brian is fixing Notes, I am @ home replying to your email... I still like my
solution better :-) :-) :-)
