I'm new to qmail (infact, just evaluating it, not using it yet) and have
some questions.
I was searching the archives for qmail performance issues, and found a
couple things I don't understand:
1. Somebody mentioned a Japanese website that has performance stats
(http://www.kyoto.wide.ad.jp/mta/eval1/). That same writer mentioned that
qmail did good on the comparisons, but honestly, I don't know what the
graphs mean just looking at the axis values. Can anyone give me a
description? I understand the values (DNS queries/answers,SMTP syn & fin),
but to me these would be stats I would expect for an OS or maybe machine.
What does it mean as far as MTA.. the more DNS queries/time an MTA sends out
the better? etc...
2. Is DSNs vs. VERPs something I should worry about? What I could gather
from the thread is that some MTAs send back DSN-formatted bounces and others
send VERP-formatted...is that right? Can qmail process both as easily?
Will I have to write additional code to process DSNs? or is "a bounce is a
bounce" to qmail no matter which format it comes in as?.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
