I'm sorry if my mail was seen as too inquisitorial. I'm asking because I manage quite a few mailservers and it's becoming more and more like telco-equipment: lots of features which make them very difficult to compare. Like DANE, which currently seems to be a postfix-exclusive feature. Milan provided a very good reason for courier: courier is fully integrated.

Sorry for that, I do not try to kill the motivation. Because the time/change difference between the 0.65.3 and 0.73.1 is so large (3 years, and approx. 150K diff), I'm interested in learning why it's not easy to update. -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 6 years to go !
