Like Kai said, i assume this has more to do with what the ordinairy
user views as an acceptable transmission method. Why use something that
works, like ftp, or scp, when you can a [to some degree, i'm sure] less
reliable medium such as email?
And i'm going on strictly user testimonials. Trying to quantify this sort of
thing would be an outrageous nightmare, i'm sure.

Now you're taking me a little too seriously, i think. I'm not blaming qmail,
or any MTA for that matter. The fact of it is that something is going on,
which i can't adequately explain. I could be the only person who has
experienced this, but i know that not to be the case. Even on this list,
every once in a while this issue [if you could even call it that now] pops
up on this list.
I'm not trying to lure anybody into a flame war, and i'm not attempting to
defile the temple of qmail, so don't worry :)
