I like qmail, but I would, having written a book about it. If you want something that works reasonably well out of the box, I'd use Postfix. If you want something you can tweak to do whatever you want, qmail is more of a toolkit. Don't use the version of qmail in ports, it includes way too many sloppily written patches. netqmail 1.06 is a reasonable place to start. http://qmail.org/netqmail/ I've replaced the qmail SMTP daemon with Bruce Guenter's mailfront, which is in the ports collection. It has a flexible plugin design which I've used to do better logging, spamassassin and DCC during the SMTP session, etc. Regards, John Levine, johnl@iecc.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. http://jl.ly
