Qmail is not free-free, you can not put a binary qmail package into a
distribution. And l-k run with Zmailer ;-)

postfix and Zmailer are sendmail compatibles with a 'sendmail'
emulator.

Zmailer please, get a .spec from -> http://perso.wanadoo.es/xose/

WU imap-pop-ftp are bombs. Why not proftpd, the 1.2.0 should be out
this week.
There are some popd very nice, gnu-pop3d , solid-pop3d and
perdition proxy mail for very high load pop3d.
don't forget a webmail program!
Rh power_users need more industrial distribution:
- mtx , for suport tape library
- http://linux.msede.com/ext2 , growing a filesystem
- best compile options into rpmrc ???
- a best instalation, with more options. Minimal: only the
basic (130M). ALL: all. Why not put a anaconda option to read a
list of rpm to install from a floppy like the kickstart ?
- crypto software into rhlinux europe version
ftp://ftp.redhat.de/pub/rh-addons/security/ is a very good place.
free/swan ...
- global file system, http://www.globalfilesystem.org/
the net is the hard_disk(c)
- VALINUX Enhancements http://www.valinux.com/software/vaload/6.2/
http://www.linuxnetworx.com/ Enhancements ..... enhancements
of all industrial redhat based distributions.
- updated all packages to the last _stable_ version.
- more secure, do not run daemons (inet:finger,ftp ... apache) by
default. A proxy support ( Sinus_firewall aka sifi)
.....
And, why not put a "kernel_hacker" rpm's( lvm,...) for the last stable
distribution to support the l-k people?
