This way, people will know that vmailmgrd exists... Because to discover in the qmail.org homepage, you really have to be lucky. The vcheckpw part is much "noticable" than the vmailmgrd.

RE: [vmailmgr] Announcements on qmail mailing list?
Hi, I also agree entirely with this. vmailmgrd deserves more recognition and use, the qmail home page description "IP based" wording does need to be improved if possible, because I avoided vmailmgrd for many months thinking it irrelevant to my needs. I don't know if you get a word limit, but "which implements either IP-based or non IP-based virtual domains." perhaps? As for posting announcements to the qmail list, I think definately yes. Again increases awareness, and to be honest (and I get ready for a large amount of backlash on this one!) vmailmgrd is one of the main reasons I've stuck with qmail for so long. Don't get me wrong, I love qmail, but it appears to me (and I hope I'm wrong) that it has queue management issues under high loads and under certain circumstances (when hotmail went down a couple of months ago and had no secondary MX record for instance). In this particular instance I had to create hotmail.com in my own DNS with false MX records in order to bounce the vast backlog of queued email that was slowing down everyone elses mail. (yeah yeah, I know, hotmails fault for only having one MX record, but still...) Anyway, keep up the good work Bruce! Cheers, Jake. -Original Message- From: Olivier M.
