A BSD admin that can take qmailtoaster and make it run on BSD can implmenet a firewall policy using ipf.
I don't think having two tcp.smtp's is going to help, it doesn't seem to solve any problems we are having. Erik On 1/31/07, Alexey Loukianov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

It is not so easy, as BSD way is not to use RPMS, while main toaster advantage is it's RPM nature. A friend of mine came to BSD world from RedHad based linux distros, that is why he uses RPM even on BSD - it is just a matter of habbit. Well, it is still possible to port QT on BSD and distribute is as a bunch of tarballs if we will find some BSD geek who will want to maintenance it. But I don't think it is a urgent task for qt-dev team ;-D. -- Best Regards, Alexey Loukianov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Development Department, Lavtech Corp http://mnogo.ru, http://lavtech.ru --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
