Had that same reaction when I took qmail for a spin some years ago. 't was nice, but not for me. Still... So for this new box I decided to go with postfix. Thusfar I like it. I don't know what it misses but whatever it is I don't miss *it* <g>. Yet... I also went with Dan's Maildir/ structure which postfix supports. For the users I installed courier-imap from the ports. The only thing I haven't got working yet is the imapd-ssl. Don't know why but then again, haven't really looked at it yet. Regular imap, pop3 and pop3 with ssl work so... It'll wait. Also postfix boosts reasonable compatibility with sendmails *outer* workings. Makes some things easier. Roelof PS I choose postfix for its safety assurances, like qmails, more than that it reputes to be way faster than qmail <g>. Safety first. A broken car doesn't move all that fast, either. -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.
