I'm running it on pperl with tcpserver, and I wouldn't recommend pperl. Tcpserver is great of course. But we keep getting two pperls running, which leads to interesting times as they fight over the files, or else pperl exits leaving a lock set and we get no pperls running because no new one can start. It might be down to the somewhat cobbled-together environment I'm running it in, but AFAIK I cobbled it together by the book :) Since my scripts don't even tell it to exit usually, I don't know why this keeps happening. It does cope well with over three thousand actual messages per hour though (plus an extra 5500 connections rejected somewhere between HELO and RCPT), and I'm very happy with qpsmtpd itself. Nick
