But does Julian support qmail in mailscanner?
More patches?
I didn't badmouth qmail, as I haven't used it. I have considered postfix, and
might try it in my next server build. Used exim only on a Debian print server
I built back in the stone age. Since I don't have time to do much consulting
anymore with linux (my spare time is spent fixing windows machines for extra
$$$), so I really can't spend a lot of time with new things.
I'm only using sendmail because, like was said before, it is the devil I know.
I hate to waste all that time I banged my head against the wall!
