This has everything to do with qmail...
The most popular MUAs used in the world today (netscape, outlook) use DSN to
do delivery receipts. Qmail doesn't support DSN and therefore will cause
people to have hissy-fits.
It doesn't matter that DSN sux - it's what people want (and you know -
they're always right).
Really speaking, qmail doesn't support ESMTP at all - claiming 8BITMIME
support just because you're 8bit clean doesn't really make it an ESMTP
MTA... I still think SIZE and DSN are needed.
BTW: Postfix doesn't really do ESMTP at all too - probably means there's a
good reason not to ;-)
