I randomly would get a small "crash" or error when a client would send a message. Not enough to be a real problem but enough to make me uneasy about its reliability. A message stuck in an outbox trying to go because tmda-ofmipd is dumping when looking at it is bad. This is probably a configuration issue or system issue but still a complication. (Keep in mind the last time I tried to get it to work was months ago).
Qmails smtp service I know and I trust. I understand tmda-ofmipd is not a replacement for qmail-smtpd but a way to enhance tmda's functions. I gave up I guess. I tried it out and found it difficult to get to be stable for the benefits. The only benefits I see is it adds to the whitelist when someone sends a message. To me this particular benefit was not enough to risk stable SMTP delivery. Plus email client configuration. Believe it or not many people cannot read instructions from a web site to change the way there email is sent. It usually requires a phone call. Typing a username and password then changing ports is too much to ask. Lack of complication is key in ISP environments. TMDA should be simple and not really involve much on the client side. If someone can click on a button on a web site and they no longer get spam great. For most people this is fine and TMDA requires no more work. TMDA without tmda-ofmipd is great because it is simple and effective. Sam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason R.

I'd be interested in specific reasons why you feel this way. tmda-ofmipd is in use in some high traffic environments and I feel it is reliable and scalable when configured appropriately. -- Not to weigh down one's thoughts with the weight of one's shoes. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
