Problem with to-field in MIME Header

[Michael Svendsen]

Heh, okay.

So what I hear you say: "Find another MTA", right? ;-)

I'm an old sendmail user, justed wanted a alternative MTA that supports
virtual users and mysql.

So I thought Postfix/Courier-IMAP/MySQL were a great solution.

Maybe I should take a look on Exim then... :)


Best Regards

Michael

For reasons best known to Wietse himself, Postfix queue files are binary
and not for human consumption. Bytes must have been *really* expensive when
he designed his queue files.
