I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet but RedHat wanted to use Qmail to replace sendmail in their distributions. But they wanted to change the directory structure and Dan Bernstein objected. So no qmail in RedHat. We like qmail for many reasons, mostly because it is efficent and it never breaks. Personally I like it because it is designed well. Once you understand Dan's coding style, it is easy to modify to add new features. Ken Jones
