MDA with vpopmail is actually never qmail. qmail hands off delivery responsbilities to vdelivermail through the .qmail-default file in the domain's 'home directory' > It would really be interesting to see vpopmail make the necessary > changes to be less qmail specific.

I disagree. > Qmail is a minority when it comes to MTA deployment. I disagree there also. qmail is probably the second most, if not the most, deployed MTA across the internet, and many different surveys have gone to show this. Also, this is WITH most new redhat installations coming with sendmail installed (and enabled) by default, which would skew this number, as sendmail might be running but it's not necessarily doing anything. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .....................
